Recent reports of insurrection at city hall (Ken Gray, Ottawa Citizen, July 4, 2008) suggest that several councillors are considering a motion requesting Mayor Larry O’Brien to step aside. Further, a number of them are seriously interested in filling the spot. Among these is career councillor Peter Hume, who represents my ward (Alta Vista).
Hume has already been in the chair for too long. He does not represent the interests and concerns of the ward effectively and most of his decisions appear to favor the interests of developers above all other interests. It’s time for a change, period. No viable candidate has run against Hume since he was first elected, once he was not even challenged.
I will work vigorously oppose any campaign Hume makes for mayor, and
I will work hard to find a competent candidate to oppose him and win in Alta Vista ward.
I’ll be writing more about this very soon!
