REPORT SLAMMED

Criticism of a report from city hall administration by some city councillors has left the mayor shaking his head.
The report calls for the creation of a communications department of up to seven people at city hall.
Ward 3 Councillor Alan Halberstadt slammed it on his online blog, calling it an "embarrassing proposal."
But, Mayor Eddie Francis says it was council who directed administration to prepare the report.
The report has been deferred to an ad-hoc council committee for discussion
This would be the same report that the Mayor was defending last week as being a more efficient approach - spending $250,000.00 more.
His comment on " politics being played " was priceless. Apparently Mayor Francis is the only politician in Windsor who doesn't practice politics. His altruistic motives leave me almost speechless.
Almost.
They must be selling pieces of that bridge again today.
