But legally how do we change the rules so people from other jurasdictions cannot run for council or Mayor? And who was it that said "We get the government we deserve."? We need to raise the standards, not lower them, or no one will bother to run let alone vote.

My humble home in this city is my "big" investment and I don't want that wiped out with the stroke of a pen at a developper's whim. I am very glad that I don't live in that area, but it seems that the same thing could be coming to a neighbourhood near you! I think that all councillors should have to LIVE in the ward they represent!Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-59284549879090455032012-03-22T08:23:08.390-04:002012-03-22T08:23:08.390-04:00Thank heavens there are no vacant lots in my neigh...Thank heavens there are no vacant lots in my neighbourhood, or who knows what might be built there. Certainly this council would not provide any protection from whatever offensive ideas a developer comes up with.<br /><br />Thank heavens as well for Beachler and Branscombe. They make noble efforts to maintain some integrity on this sorry council. <br /><br />Let's create a requirement that any elected representative in our city must actually live within our city; not just own property here. Let's actually do a background check to verify those running for office are not just using some relative's address, but verify that they actually reside in London. <br /><br />True, this would not prevent all of these miserable decisions, but at least they would not feel so offensive. Henderson and Fontana have no real stake in these neighbourhoods or our city. They seem to be working on behalf of some groups, but now us.<br /><br />Who is Henderson serving? Where did he get all that money for his campaign? Wasn't his campaign the most costly in London? Who are his donors? I could hazard a guess.<br /><br />I am still waiting for him to bring in some investors for his first-class idea of making London a manufacturing hub for 'Gun-Powder-free cigarettes.'<br /><br />With a great economic mind like his working for us, we should be the richest city in Canada.Interested Partynoreply@blogger.com
