The singularly appalling John Floyd is seriously -and I mean SERIOUSLY- putting together a plan to run for mayor in Port Hope. Again.

Bob has served our community for a long time and he deserves our thanks for all his hard work.

It is no small accomplishment to recognise when it's time to go either. It was a wise decision, one that some of the other old timers might want to consider.
