Mayor Hazel: Festival Announcement

Immense Popularity Dept: For three straight years he has maintained a property tax freeze without cutting services, according to The Star. In 2006, he won office with 83 per cent of the vote. Last fall, he improved to 85 per cent. By comparison, popular Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion last fall took 76 per cent and no new taxes only partly explains the immense popularity of Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti. But he is also a populist, Markham s happy face. He attends everything. One moment he is cutting a ribbon at an indoor soccer field, another moment dancing with an Indian folk troupe at a film-festival announcement. As reported in the news.
