about a year and a half ago, the mayor of windsor acted like a dirty fascist in overriding the clear democratic will of city council to maintain tunnel bus service, out of an apparent anti-union political ideology. this ideological decision actually reduced operating revenues, leading to higher deficits, and had a clearly negative effect on windsor's struggling downtown core. the mayor apparently wants more church organized social activities and more family-oriented event funding. he's attacking the city's economy because he's an ideological conservative. he's also continued to destroy the library, and received nothing of any value for it while watching multiple physical library locations get sold off to dubious market investors, then collapse into disuse and disrepair. on top of that, he's wasted millions of tax dollars on repeatedly renovating recently renovated city halls, foolishly built a hockey rink on top of a green space downtown, spent a million dollars on a decommissioned rail car and continues to throw millions of dollars a year down the drain on an environmentally irresponsible christmas lights display intended to appeal to white christian supremacist identity politics.

there's an election this year and i want to see somebody run against these things and get rid of this shithead. cancelling the tunnel bus was stupid - it cost the city money and it hurt the local bars. the city should bring back the tunnel bus. the library has faced years of instability that needs to come to an end. the city should buy back the old library on ouellette. i'm tired of seeing the city waste money on family oriented programming that is stupid and lame. the rail car is a dumb waste of money. and the christmas lights are a waste of electricity and a waste of tax dollars to a celebrate a holiday that is largely culturally irrelevant in this society, which is overwhelmingly secular.

he's also refusing to implement overdue zoning changes and not taking federal money for subsidized housing, which is inflating property values and increasing rents.

the mismanagement at city hall is overwhelming. the city needs to unite to get rid of this guy. he's fucking terrible.
