maybe a business owner that went bankrupt in the middle of an economic crisis will have learned at lot. a serious contribution and commitment to this community has to be considered. I always learned the most from my mistakes.

Cobourg needs a business owner who has gone bankrupt on council like it needs another frink.

I see in today's paper that a guy named Larry Sherwin has announced his candidacy. Don't know him but when I saw his list of credentials, mostly as a minor sports guy, I have to wonder if he is just a Spooner-lite waiting in the winds?

His priority seems to be building parking lots; not too inspiring for this voter, especially downtown which doesn't need more asphalt.

Do we need another sports obsessed councillor with all the hokey sentiment that suggests?

To lift a phrase from Wally, we'd be better served by a member of the Imagine Nation who can think outside of the sports box.

Why? Make a case Dimwit Anony Mouse.

Thanks for clearing up the Mayor's question, how about the question of running for a seat as a councillor. I know you have been thinking a lot about running in this falls municipal election and you weren't sure for what position, any update.

Now that I've read both local articles about Delanty's retirement I am left with little to sing the man's praises other than relief that he knows when to quit.

In reviewing his three terms, nothing stands out. As a manager he seems competent, but there's been no vision other than conformity and some vague notion of wellness.

His presumptous comparisons of himself to Pierre Trudeau really grate though. What a nerve!

I give him a C. Peter's a polite boy but needs to show some imagination in his work.

None whatsoever, I have had my crack at the mayor's spot and failed.

Ben is there any truth to the rumours that were floating around today that you will be challenging Gil for the mayor's seat now that Peter has announced he will not be seeking re-election.
