Our community should be proud of the improved voter turnout in the municipal elections. It seems that almost a third more votes were cast than the previous election.
The council includes the return of some excellent people and the addition of "new blood" that should provide a renewed energy and perhaps some interesting new ideas.
I was particularly pleased to see our Mayor returned with such a strong majority. Eddie has worked diligently and enthusiastically for the residents of Windsor and his entrepreneurial approach is exactly what has been needed over the past years and continues to be a benefit in developing and maintaining business opportunities and jobs in our community.
We should extend a thank you to Ken Lewenza for his service to our community. It is not important whether we agree or disagree with each decision by each councillor but it is important to recognize that each of these individuals serves their community to the best of their ability and in accordance with their view of what direction to take.
There has been talk of a divided community during the campaign but I don't believe that to be the case. Windsorites, for the most part, want what is best for their community and while self - interest always plays a role the unions in this city have always been strong supporters of the general community and stepped up to help where ever it has been needed.
We face many challenges but will conquer them and continue to make Windsor the wonderful place to live and work that it has always been.
