It was was most informative to hear each the Candidates respond to questions formulated by the Chamber and DVA. As candidates for city for Council we have received the same four questions. I will post my own responses later.
When four people are asked the same questions their answers start to blend. My approach for evaluating the candidates for mayor centers on whether they have two qualities. Firstly does the candidate understand civic government and workings of council? Being a new Mayor will be like drinking from a fire hose: a lot to decide and delegate in a very short order. Knowing the essentials will help.
Secondly does the candidate give me the impression that he would be able equitably chair a council meeting? There is great deal of information and protocols needed at one's fingertips and then there is the camera. There needs to be balance of tolerance and direction by the Mayor which will lead to an open atmosphere, fostering honest debate, insightful questions and timely decisions.
Remember to vote Shawn Lee for Vernon City Council Cheers
