And So The Story Goes….

 

As we sit here the weekend before the fateful or happy day of October 25th, I am wondering if we can shake off the apathy that plagues us election after election.  I have heard our politicians tell us that London ranks in the top ten in a study, that we are tops in another study.  Yet, these same politicians tell us that London is on average in regards to voter turn out, property taxes, etc, etc.  How can they expect up to believe that we are both tops and average at the same time?  We’re are only tops if it benefits what they are saying and when faced with the negative aspect they state that average is great.

Recently we have had unemployment statistics come out and guess what?  Yep, it was raised again.  Then another study comes out in regards to sewer run off.  You got it we’re in top 3 for that.  Now a recent study was released in regards to entrepreneurship for business.  Sadly yet again we’re ranked way down the list.  Not the top ten or even the top 50 out of 100.  But 77th out of 100.  CFIB Study.

Our current crop of council has shown a complete lack of understanding in regards to the serious issues Londoners are facing daily.  They have proven how out of touch they are in regards to the direction London has been heading.  We need strong leadership and a council that is devoted to bringing London back to the top of lists that matter.  Lower unemployment, lower taxes, lower crime and being open for business for all of Canada and the world for that matter.

We only have one shot at changing directions once every four years and our shot is coming up on Monday.  Take the time this weekend and think if the direction London is heading is the direction you want to go.  Show what happens to those that fail in performing the deeds of the city.  On October 25th help raise the unemployment up by removing the ineffective councillors.  Lets make sure that those that do get the job , do the job they are expected to perform.

On October 25th vote Bob Howard.  We will get back to work as a city and head into the right direction as a city.
