So...If They Won't Tell

It might be fun to guess who is on the Mayor's slate. We would have to look for clues.

Last election , I wasn't paying a lot of attention. Candidates don't usually. They're too busy doing their own thing.

Stephen Granger let the cat out of the bag. He went to a home where a Grace Marsh sign was on the lawn. He told the homeowners they should vote for him because he was a part of a group that would get things done.

They shifted the Market from down-town. Turned out it wasn't actually for the Market's benefit. It was to make the band-shell available for special events which involved the St.Kitts woman and the family business.

John Gallo was appointed to Council by the Mayor and followers. As President of the Bayview Ratepayers Association, he was part of the Aurora Coalition of Ratepayers, which planted questions at a candidate meeting. If he is a candidate that would be baggage. It's too bad, I think he has potential.

We can look at committee appointments.

Evalina MacEachern is on several committees and would of course be on the slate, if she isn't breaking loose.

Wendy Gaertner has already declared. She has been on several committees.Wendy is very compliant. She will definitely be on the slate again.

Christopher Ballard has declared. He is Chairman of the Economic Development Committee. He is also on the steering committee for the hocus-pocus Promenade Study.

Quite likely to be on the slate.

Roger Clowater has been a candidate since January. He thinks the Mayor and Council have done a fine job. But he's running for Mayor, so he can't be on the slate.

Then there's the St.Kitts woman from Snowball. Didn't I hear she bought property in Aurora and made a statement a long time ago, she might be a candidate in the next election.We will have to wait and see.

Maybe the Aurora Citizen Blog should ask candidates if they are on the Mayor's slate.

Then people will know.

If people think totalitarian government "gets things done" like Granger says, they will know how to vote.

On the other hand, if they don't think totalitarian government is particularly wholesome and don't like the things that were done , they will know how to vote.

It's quite simple when you think about it.

We should just ask. Maybe they will tell.

And...even if they don't ...well that's like they did.

If Grace Marsh were to be a candidate, everyone would know, she's not on the Mayor's slate.

Bob McRoberts, Alison Collins Mrakas, Evelyn Buck....ditto...ditto....ditto
