Selling cakes and other junk foods for a living?? Didnt we just experience the foresight and leadership of a mayor that used to run a jewelery shop? Did you see how that went? The same Steve that headed up the funding committe for the kinsman pool? The closed pool? Over saw a skateboard park that ended up dug into the front lawn of the town hall along the highway?? Shorewalk? other than a few signs at the end of deadend streets hows that going? Elected to lead? Isnt that what Mulrooney said just before he hatched the GST we all enjoy? That $50,000 per year job must look pretty "sweet" to a guy selling sugary junk food for a living. Leadership? Better leave that job to the big boys. On the library board, a system that gets almost $1.7 MILLION dollars per and still has the juice to ask for a dollar from every person coming to see one of their tired movies. If this is leadership we may be in more trouble than I thought.Puerto E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-56030873298078748112014-07-25T08:04:01.661-04:002014-07-25T08:04:01.661-04:00Especially in light of his ringing endorsement fro...Especially in light of his ringing endorsement from the peter k/greggers brain trust, it will be a pleasure watching little Stephen P try to hide his intolerance of anyone that disagrees with his thinking.<br />Fact is this smug little prick is The Perfect candidate for the small minded, big mouths that kiss the asses of the Martin/Thibert clan with every opportunity as it is Stephen's desire to become the next Imam Of The Ignorant. <br />As to the rest of Fort Erie..? <br />One need only look at the empty rhetoric and broken promises this joker has left in his path to see exactly where he's headed.<br /><b>Fort Erie's New Ninja King!</b>view_from_the_beachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-68073915375402037822014-07-24T21:42:16.727-04:002014-07-24T21:42:16.727-04:00Look at me, dont you remember I gave you a cheque ...Look at me, dont you remember I gave you a cheque for $35 dollars, dont you feel the love??

That is protected by our constitution. That is not "buying votes", if it were, the money would be going the other way, from the candidate to the voter.<br /><br />Now I know you are saying that because that individual or company donated money to a candidate, then that candidate is going to get them business through their political position. No one individual around the Horseshoe can accomplish that. That is why we have a council ..... 6 councilors and a mayor, and the decision is based on a majority vote, which has been very obvious with our current council.<br /><br />So, if you still feel that supporters of any candidate are benefiting from their support, please elaborate with facts instead of the constant unsubstantiated accusations.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-18555766426480442012014-07-24T13:20:33.534-04:002014-07-24T13:20:33.534-04:00Lots of donations are so small the candidate could...Lots of donations are so small the candidate couldnt buy a tank of gasoline. It looks like more of a public display of their loyalty to a choosen candidate, and if that buys them a little bit of favortism when it comes to some small issue all the better, they must be thinking. With the unfair increases in taxation that we are experiencing I cant see how anyone would want to give yet even more money away to the characters running for office. A public display of your political leanings when the donation list is published in the local rag. What do they do with those funds anyway?? Mailouts?, newspaper ads?. By any means a way to keep track of which clingons are looking to be looked down upon from the throne favorably. Its pretty obvious that sort of thing has been going on. And thats just corrupt behaviour ,from the donator AND the receiver, and getting worse.Ken W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-90211068533760375122014-07-23T19:03:14.658-04:002014-07-23T19:03:14.658-04:00Well ED most of all Doug's campaign funds came...Well ED most of all Doug's campaign funds came from business owners if you review history you might find that Doug voted in favour if they ever went to council for any request.
