Mayor Bowman

[Jaxon]

CJOB reports that his numbers are dropping:

Personally, I'm quite disappointed in his performance.   I voted for him, so I carry some blame, but to be honest, I simply wanted to pick the candidate that was best positioned to defeat Judy who would have been a complete disaster.

I was disappointed that he didn't stand up for Winnipeg when the writer from McLean's wrote that butcher article on racism in Winnipeg.  Instead he cowardly apologized despite the fact that the article was full of holes as exposed by local radio.   I wish the Mayor acted more like Dave Wheeler on this issue.

The Mayor has now lost my support.   He's increasing taxes, and now is adding 3 more senior bureaucrats, which is the exact opposite of what he should do.  I realize that they did cut some positions, but they needed to be permanent cuts.   He needs to streamline city hall, not add bureaucracy.    IMHO we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem, and he's making it worse.

He also ran to a certain extent as the guy who would finally make City Hall "transparent"

He completely disappeared after the election.  Went into City Hall and hid, has barely made a peep.

Want Bowman to change his mind? Wait 24hrs.

It's been a long, long time(40+?) since a Mayor was voted out of office. They either quit(Norrie, Thompson, Murray, Glen) or die(Juba).

Tax, tax, tax, he's just cutting his teeth until the Liberals have an opening for him.

I thought he was more Conservative than NDP but it turns out he's just PC ...

[bustamente]

Anyone really think that the mayor runs the city?

[do or die]

The mayor has never run this city......

He always said he was going to increase taxes, lo and behold he is increasing taxes.  The people are getting what they voted for.

Gord Steeves was the correct choice for mayor but his wife said mean things about natives on Facebook.

I tell this to my wife all the time but it doesn't seem to make a difference...
