Why do we need a city council or mayor let alone a pay raise with this carry on? The hard working staff must all be looking for other jobs elswhere.

Fontana is showing his federal political experience by aligning people with him beforehand to push through his agenda which may or may not be good for London. Fontana tries to be charming - it is getting old. Some of these minions are following him out of political aspirations (riding on his coat-tails) and others have extreme gullibility and perhaps enjoy the flattery of being aligned with him. And others (one in particular) just wants to be pointed in some/any direction, because he cannot comprehend or follow what is going on! <br />I feel so sorry for the city hall staff. No wonder Fleming is leaving. The staff are professionals who have been through college and university in their particular fields and do not deserve this planning-on-the-fly which must make for a very stressful environment at city hall or they are too overcome with laughter to worry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-79553386286906069532012-03-29T11:21:54.835-04:002012-03-29T11:21:54.835-04:00well that's quite a precident, being allowed t...well that's quite a precident, being allowed to purchase, own and use a chunk of property any which way one chooses...and we can't even build a grannyshack in the backyard or let our kids put up tree fort without political interference!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-14990483313978027342012-03-29T09:50:40.023-04:002012-03-29T09:50:40.023-04:00Mayor Fontana has insulted every Londoner with his...Mayor Fontana has insulted every Londoner with his remarks.<br /><br />What a mess this council is.<br /><br />Since Developers are the people who really run the city, there is actually no need for council at all.<br /><br />I am sure that there are greedy developers everywhere, but can others tell me if most cities have caved in to developers as much as this city has? <br /><br />Do other cities manage to actually maintain some integrity with planning and building, or do developers run the world everywhere?Interested Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460062076455326962.post-39886094514187679702012-03-29T09:29:36.063-04:002012-03-29T09:29:36.063-04:00A sigh and a shake of the head,
