Mayor Peter Kelly: Rational Debate

Retired Police Dept: "The mayor is a term position. It is not a career," Martin said, taking a direct shot at Mayor Peter Kelly, who was first elected 11 years ago, according to The Chronicle Herald. "A municipal government that is not able to set priorities, that does not answer to the citizens, that cannot admit missteps, that will not work together nor engage in rational debate benefits no one," he said during a news conference held on the Dartmouth waterfront and retired police officer Tom Martin came out swinging Tuesday as he announced his candidacy for mayor of Halifax Regional Municipality. "The days of backroom deals, absence of accountability and lack of vision must come to an end." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
