These pages on local politicians are uninteresting, Mayor Mandel's being a pertinent example. We should probably have a section on current issues to spice them up. The problem, of course, is potential bias, so careful wording would have to be used. In Mandel's case, there are a few issues that could obviously be included to make the entry more stimulating:
(1) Oversight of Edmonton's recent infrastructure deterioration. (2) Response to the 2006 Windrow Scandal. (3) The ongoing issue (relates to (1)) of roadway deterioration ("City of Potholes"). (4) The above in the context of the proposed new art gallery ($90m), alderperson/mayoral pay increases, car allowances, and, of course, the proposed new hockey arena (>$500m).
All of the above can be reliably sourced (Edmonton Journal, for example, Edmonton City Website etc.). Of course, there would be issues that would reflect positively (I'm too blue collar, so can't think of any myself, others could contribute these).
Thoughts, anyone?
