First I will admit that leadership in the city is sorely lacking - I'm sure we can all agree to that. I do however question how people revise 'their' candidates based upon history. I also believe that one of the biggest issues we face is dealing with the number of people that are on the ballot. By creating council by districts we could make the process of selecting the best candidate[[s) much more reasonable.

While I spend too much time researching as many candidates as possible it is an overwhelming task. I am lucky enough to have maple spare time to research but many in the city do not.

So with that in mind, if you don't live in the city and have ever used 'they get what they deserve' type comments as it relates to leadership I offer a challenge.

With the list of 160+ City council candidates I ask you to list who you would vote for if you lived in the city. Possibly even a top 3.
