Kudos to our Mayor and Council

I am always at a loss to understand the people who seem to always have something negative to say about our Mayor or his management style. We elected him because of his business acumen as a very young man who had demonstrated his success in the private sector. This acumen has reaped significant rewards for our community over the years, not the least of which is the recent Art Gallery/Library deal. Our taxes have been stable for years while communities all around us have increased and services to our community have not been severely down graded. We enjoy a wonderful waterfront and modernized sewage retention system, underpasses where trains no longer hold up traffic and a large arena complex on the East side of the city that is well used. Deals have been made with our college and university to move activity downtown and new industry has been sought after and located in our community providing jobs. Even housing prices are going up for the first time in many years.
If one of these things happened we could attribute it to coincidence or luck but it is clear that Mayor Francis and our City Council deserve the credit for steering Windsor so well.
