Quick Hits - Monday June 4th

Interesting editorial from the Ottawa Citizen. I liked the "shoot the messenger theme". Unfortunately, in Windsor the media tends to be the shooter instead of the victim. Why do we need a $250,000 dollar PR department for City Hall when we have the Windsor Star and AM800? (ever listened to the Mayor's spot on the Morning Drive - for an all news station, AM800 should hang it's head in shame. Weekly fluff piece doesn't even begin to describe it)


Dion buys barters civic support
Not surprising from an organization who secretly voted out their President, Guelph Councillor Gloria Kovach, for having the temerity to attempt to run as a Conservative candidate. You haven't heard the last of her and the FCM yet.

Businesses, would-be investors - pay no attention. There are no militant unions in Windsor. Move along, nothing to see here.

Ward One, Ward Two and Ward Three Ward Fund Lottery Tickets still available. Details on Ward Four and Ward Five lottery to follow.

The circular logic of Windsor City Council. Anyone who wonders why Windsor has an anti-business reputation, wonder no more. Current halls in Windsor are virtually guaranteed no new competition in Windsor thanks to this lovely bylaw. A bonus for the City owned and run Roseland. How does the City of Windsor make decisions on matters such as this when they are essentially a competitor?

Olde Sandwich Community Improvement Plan moves forward with blinding speed while others like Glengarry-Marentette languish. Maybe the Glengarry-Marentette area should lobby for an International crossing to be built in their area - seems to work for others.
