Windsor has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, yet our Mayor is the second highest paid mayor in all of Ontario, and he thinks that a channel is a cure for Windsor’s ills. What jobs are attracted by a ditch in a decaying downtown? Francis promised only two terms, and now he is running for a third. The placement of the W.F.C.U. Center, outside any benefits to downtown businesses, restaurants, hotels and motels is disturbing. What is even more troubling is the fact that not only the Mayor, but all of City Council is being sued by The Bridge Company and we the tax payers will be forced to pay their legal fees! City taxes, W.U.C. rates, service fees, fire and policing costs are on the rise in a City deep in recession and unemployment. Where is logic and common sense to fiscal restraint? Sad to add, that during this recession both the Mayor and all of Council took pay increases, benefits and pensions, for a part-time job. There is only one solution and that is: “Clean House”.
