It's a checklist for the next election and perhaps they are counting on the fact that people remember the more recent events (i.e. the last year in office) than the other previous 3 years. <br /><br />You'll see next year, they will be listing not their successes per se (the cell tower was never going to change) but how they stood up to be "the voice of the people". And how they "fought for the people".<br /><br /> IMHO, we'll start seeing more councillor PR, more tweets, more blogging, more letters to the editor, more standing up to be noticed for causes that boggle the mind.

Gallo used Town of Aurora letterhead stationary for the letter that he then apparently hand-delivered to residents in the area?<br /><br />I would have thought that Town stationary was to be used only for the communication of Town business, approved by Council.<br /><br />If my assumption , above, is correct than Gallo should be censured for having gone far beyond his authority.<br /><br />He reminds me of a spindly little puppy that has yet to be house-trained.<br /><br />I have never had any use for Ballard, Gaertner, Humfryes and Gallo. The Fab Four, still in the experimental stage.<br /><br />But Abel seemed to have a mind and an ability to think and express himself ably. It now turns out that he only leased his mind and the lease apparently has expired. This is a very great disappointment. He demonstrated this when the discussion on three trees at 33 Longthorpe Court was taking place.<br /><br />And he doesn't have the faintest clue about what "heritage" is and is not.<br /><br />Give him a dunce cap and make him sit in a corner at the next Council meeting.
