And Then There Was 7

The Mayor's task force for business - MT FOD 6 has gained another member courtesy of the People’s Councilor Lisa Osanic. In the Tuesday night debate, Councilor Osanic elucidated in her Yoda-like manner of identifying issues as they exist in a different dimension than in the political arena of 216 Ontario Street. Councilor Osanic merely pointed out the MT FOD 6 was precariously tilted without a counterweight of checks and balances that would be provided by a non partisan member of the Mayor’s inner circle.

Enter Helen Findlay, member of the public. Thank you Councilor Osanic or in Yoda speak " You councilor Osanic thank."

In other shenanigans at the Limestone City Palace related to the MT FOD 6, Councilor Downes erupted in an explosion of emotions directed at the Mayor’s audacity to spend $100,000 of the people’s money without indicating he would do so during the non-existent budget deliberations of November. Mayor Gerretsen had momentarily stepped down from The Throne and handed control of the Kingdom’s political reins to Deputy Mayor Hector, who was required to referee the shouting match between the two adversaries, exclaiming “Point of Order! You are both out of order!”

Deputy Mayor Hector then scolded Downes and demanded he apologize to young Gerretsen or else he was to leave the chambers for a time-out.

And thank you Councilor Downes for finally bringing forward to the current Mayor the same gusto you reserved for the former Mayor.
