Title: Larry Di Ianni, Wet Behind the Ears Post by: editor on October 04, 2006, 10:28:13 am “Larry Di Ianni, Wet Behind the Ears” Mayor to boost community councils By Nicole MacIntyre The Hamilton Spectator (Oct 4, 2006) http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=hamilton/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1159912239733&call_pageid=1020420665036&col=1014656511815 Community councils...just another manipulative ploy...What is Di Ianni really saying, that the elected members of City Hall, once elected. do have not time to deal with issues within amalgamated towns...or that the city will defer issues, for such amalgamated, that it does not want to address, to Community councils. The facts are Di Iann, we don’t want to here opinions form Community councils who have no authority. We want our concerns address by those we elect and not some appointed bureaucrat that has been appointed to differ or manipulate our democratic rights. If this City is admitting that it can no longer address the issues of said amalgamated towns, perhaps it’s time that such amalgamated towns join together and elect their own mayor and councilors, forming a City Coalition Municipal Government... Di Ianni, this proposed community council is a rouge that allows indiscriminate divisive political manipulation that does not serve the greater good of Hamilton. Either this city deals with the uniqueness that encompasses all the parts or it admits that it’s only intention is to use such amalgamation as a funnel for funds for the downtown. Di Ianni you can’t suck and blow at the same time...prosperity and growth need to be a benefit to all sectors of this city not just in areas where you can cultivate numbers for your election...a sense of fairness across the whole city... but then....this has not been your style.....it’s always been about you, me, myself and I... Your vote is important! Vote November 13th What do you think...? Comments appreciated ham_editor@yahoo.ca |
