2014 Election Campaign begins!

Yesterday I officially became a candidate for Ward 2 Alderman in the Town of Grimsby for the upcoming Municipal election.

This is the first posting in my official campaign blog where I will be commenting on current issues, talk about what I want to do as Alderman as well as other thoughts and observations on the campaign as it unfolds.

I have previously served as a Grimsby Alderman and am looking forward to the campaign so that we can talk about ideas.  Being an Alderman gives you a chance to DO things not just BE someone. Personally, there are three things I want to do as Alderman:

1.  Make sure the Town of Grimsby is doing all it can to attract and retain businesses;
2. Investigate ways that the Town can make life a bit easier for those who choose to live here but work somewhere else; and
3.  Stop the unnecessary year after year growth in our property taxes.

I will be releasing details on these three ideas during the course of the campaign, but I also want to hear what you think the big issues facing our town are.  Make sure that you take the time to ask candidates what they want to do as Alderman.

Vote for ideas not biographies.
