The last couple of days, I've been walking around, delivering my flyers and talking to people. All very nice, all very welcoming and willing to chat about their portion of the Ward.
I'm finding out, is what I suspected...people are most interested in things that affect them directly, things that they see daily.
Examples: Speed Bumps, Dim Streetlights, potholes, park maintenance, speed camera's, snow clearing...(the list goes on)
Another comment is "it's hard to enact change at City Hall"...and yes...it is hard. There are entrenched positions, strong Mayor Powers now, entrenched alliances, legacy costs from previous votes.
Ward 25 get's one vote. Can one vote change the direction of the entire budget? No.
I'm asking for your vote, so I can be a voice of reason on the larger issues that affect the entire city.
I'm also asking for your vote, so I can focus on the local issues...the issues that most affect you at your home and your enjoyment of it.
I'd like to hear for you about anything that concerns you in your corner of Ward 25.
Please use the contact section to email me directly.
Thank you,
Brian Matthews
