We can still see what his platform would have looked like.

/\ very interesting...

He certainly had a lot of meat in his platform, and not the usual political generalities which most politicians spew out on command.

Some examples for better or worse, it's a moot point now:


"Make tenant responsibility a key value and expectation"

Fair point, but unusual to be in a plank in your platform. Probably goes over well with the landlord crowd.

"
As Mayor, I will:

• Break ground on a new art gallery within the first two years of my mandate,
• Seek opportunities to support community level art,
• Investigate the opportunity for special zoning to provide work space for local artists,
• Seek out opportunities for youth participation in the arts including a graffiti wall where local youth can compete and create."

• "Develop a clear process so that developers understand expectations but are also rewarded with a more streamlined and transparent process,"

"A zero tolerance policy for public drug and alcohol use."

Wow he lost my vote on the last one. I think we should be liberalizing the laws for the consumption of alcohol in public.

Someone should run on "Wine in public parks" I would vote for them.

/\ Then wouldn't that bring us back full circle where we are today... Winos in public parks...?

[Caramia]

Wow he might have just won my vote with the graffiti wall if he were still running. Can we get another candidate to promise us one? How about Dean?
