The Day the Earth Stood Still

As we come down the last 12 days of the election promises, speeches, campaigning we are faced with either a tough choice or an easy one.

On October 25th we have to decide either that the status quo as of late has been good for London or it needs to change.  Are you content with tax increases every year, wasteful spending, bloated bureaucracy, a council that follows the beat of the minority drum and by law after by law.  If you have answered yes to the above questions then your choice is already made and hence it’s an easy one.  On the other hand if you have said enough is enough then you are left with multiple choices.  An incumbent has always had the upper hand in regards to the elections due to the fact they have name recognition already.  The other candidates always have an uphill battle.  Now in some wards there may be two other choices or many more as we have seen with this years turn out of candidates.  From there we need to extrapolate who would be the better candidate to help guide London to where your personally think we should be heading.  Now over the last couple of weeks I have posted my thoughts and ideas on this here blog.  I hope you have read them and I hope that I have portrayed my thoughts properly to you. 

This election is so important in so many ways.  With Board of Control gone and the city trying to get out of an economic recession we need to focus on proper spending, taxes that make sense, job creation and retaining our youth in our city.  We need to make sure the London not only gets stronger in the coming years but becomes a leader to other cities.  We need to stop the bickering in council chambers, we need leadership and obtainable goals.  We need to stop focusing on what is the popular issue of the day and focus on the issues of London as a whole.  We need to create a city of neighbourhoods, business and schools.  We need to show the students that we support them now and in the future.  We need to show our seniors that they can enjoy their twilight years without fear of not affording their homes.  We need to show our families that you can raise your kids here in safe parks and educated them in the best schools around.  We need to show our investors that London is a place not only for business but for innovation.  In order to obtain these realistic goals we need to stop council on their current course of spend spend spend without getting value for our dollar.

On October 25th send a strong message to council.  Say enough is enough.

Vote Bob Howard and let’s get to work.
