City Hall and Gord Steeves

Gord Steeves: Gord Steeves pledged more openness and transparency at city hall if he elected mayor Oct. 22. , according to CBC. Steeves said some of the controversy city hall has become embroiled in might not have occurred if this "needed buffer between policy makers and administration" still existed. Three of the main contenders to sit in the mayor chair at Winnipeg City Hall all made announcements around the same time Wednesday. Gord Steeves said if he elected mayor, he will create a buffer zone between the city administration and politicians to ensure political influence plays no role in city decisions. The former St. Vital councillor repeated his promise to resurrect the executive policy secretariat, which was eliminated a number of years ago. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
