I only wish we could vote today, not next October. With Kim Richter saying she will run for mayor, it must make a lot of people happy in our Township.

The mayor we have now has shown us he does not listen to the majority of the people on almost every issue except, maybe ruining neighbourhoods.

Aldergrove wanted an indoor pool, the mayor campaigned on doing just that. They got an outdoor pool and another hockey rink instead. This mayor wanted an interchange at 216 Street for trucks. The majority of the affected community did not want one, but it is going ahead anyways.

This mayor has ignored people’s voices many times, and does not look like he will ever care for our wishes. This mayor and his “clique” of pals must come to an end once and for all on Oct 20, 2018.

We must vote for people who will actually listen, we must vote for people that are intelligent, we must vote for people who aren’t doing it for the special interest groups, and we must vote for people who actually give a “fart” about the people.

We must vote for people that will be held accountable for fiscal responsibilities, they must be transparent.

No more to ignoring our high crime rate. No more bending over backwards to help developers get rich. No more spending money on things we don’t need or want. No more bullying male or female councillors that are just protecting us, the voting public, by simply stating or speaking out on questionable subject matter.

I hope the sheep who voted for this mayor last time will vote for someone who actually has the best interests of the TOL at heart, and will move this Township forward in a positive direction, taking each of its residents’ concerns at face value.

Kim Richter is someone we can all get behind and feel good that the right person may just get the position that will bring this Township closer together, instead of ripping it apart.

So do your homework, study the candidates, and make a smart decision instead of guessing and checking off the person with the biggest signs. That happened last time and we are paying for it now.
