Haligonian Style Open & Transparent Mayor


My thanks to a reader.

Here is how the Mayor of Halifax lets the voters in his City know where he travels, for what reason and how much it costs.

Do you really believe that such a system would ever take place here so that we would find out how many times Eddie visited the Big Apple to meet Sam or to Ottawa and Toronto or other places to spread the word about Windsor and "build relationships."

Hey, how about creating a new index, a politicial success measurement tool: cost per relationship built. That might be a good way to determine if an elected official was doing his/her job.

In Windsor, after this Mayor and Council's three-year term, we'd probably have an undefined number as the answer! For you mathematicians out there, you know how I get that answer don't you! For you others, email me and I will explain.
