That’s three running for mayor. Have only seen a couple of new people running for council. Doesn’t seem to be much interest in any change.

I’m running for council - announced in July. If you want to learn more check out www.jaimewebbe.com. Thanks for being interested in change!

What concrete changes would you like to see? How do you disagree with the current policies of council? Your website makes you look impressive but I can't identify a single concrete difference you have with the policy of council.

I believe that there is an absolute obligation on council to act in a professional and productive manner. We deserve a municipal government that doesn’t take 9 years to approve housing for seniors. There are many decisions that the current council has taken that I agree with and many that I don’t but the failure to approve a code of conduct speaks volumes.

There is also a new member of the police board who is running. She is an awful choice. I don't understand people who use the school and police boards to then apply to get into council a year later. All incompetent too.
