He was seen out collecting signatures before the Monday night Council meeting. During the meeting he threw the North End and Ward 2 residents under the bus, so he could "flip-flop" on Riverside Pool Issue, so now he "cares for" the whole city.

The only thing that concerns me is that our expansion is heavily dependent on the Canadian dollar. Too much too fast? We'll see. <BR/><BR/>But you can't much argue with results as they stand.
