The Guest Post here fails to show that the blog page also has a copy of the motion to suspend pay. The motion was brought forward by....

Councillor Ballard.

So, at least he had the balls to start the process.

**********************

The motion read like a proclamation of  candidacy with  the name mentioned in every whereas.

The record might show I moved the motion.

When I thought of it later, I realized it  wasn't particularly sensible.  That happens in the heat of the moment.

Changing the  computer program to accommodate  the motion is probably  more trouble than merit.

The Councillor  could simply refund remuneration for the month.... quietly without drawing attention to his noble deed.

Silly me.  Then  the object of the exercise would not be accomplished.

We do all know who is managing his  campaign and directing his strategy don't we?

That should help him a lot.

I think most of Council are Liberals.  A dilemma presents.

The Minister of Health  visited  last week  claiming the Riding as  traditional Liberal.

It's not at all.

Conservative Major Lex Mackenzie of Woodbridge  was the MLA  forever. Former King Township Reeve and County Warden Bill Hodgson followed  as Conservative MLA for several terms after  the Major.

Liberal Charles Beer of Newmarket held it for a couple of terms . But  that was because he was  personally very  well regarded.

Conservative Frank Klees  has held it  four terms.

The Minister of Health was  mis-informed

It's a compact Riding.

Newmarket  historically inclines Liberal  but Aurora leans  Conservative.It's the Irish Catholic and Scottish Presbyterian influence.

Jane Twinney carries a Liberal name but the Conservative  Banner. As a Newmarket Councillor, she has earned a solid reputation in her own right. It will be needed because the Honorable Tim Hudak will be no help. 

Anyone who thinks Candidate Ballard "has it made in the shade" is  obviously blinded by the hot air and glare of intense sunlight. 

It's a wonder he's not recommending the former Mayor as alternate in his absence from Council ; such is his adulation. 

It's my impression voters  are champing at the bit to throw the bastards out. 

Voters generally don't take kindly to being taken for fools. 

They take revenge. 

The Honorable Kathleen Wynn may understand that very well but there's not a lot she can do 
at this stage of the game . The phoney-baloney budget rubbed salt in the wounds. 

The NDP  will likely find someone to carry their banner.  There's always a brave soul willing. Unfortunately, it will be an enormously strenuous wasted effort in this riding. 

It's going to be a short ride, Not the least  bit bumpy
