The local media are ramping
up coverage of municipal coverage in advance of this Fall’s Municipal
Elections.
The big focus is on the race
here in the Capital City and in neighboring Mount Pearl
where the Mayor’s races are expected to be hotly contested.
Former Mount Pearl
Mayor, MHA & PC. Cabinet Minister Dave Denine is rumored to be raising
money and putting together a team in a bid for the chains of office.
Incumbent Mayor, popular VOCM
Open Line Host, Mayor Randy Simms is running for re-election. Word is that
Simms has been too critical of the Progressive Conservatives, so the gang wants
him gone.
Randy has committed the sin of daring to question the Progressive Conservative (aka Government) propaganda machine by asking sensible,timely and critical questions. It appears their is a price for not playing the role of a cheer leader!
Mount Pearl’s three MHA’s are all Progressive
Conservatives. Mount
Pearl North is
represented by former Mayor Steve Kent, Mount Pearl South MHA is represented by
former city councilor Paul Lane & Topsail district is represented by tory
Paul Davis.
It should make for an interesting bit
of political theater in St. John’s
biggest suburb!
