McGinn’s lawyer background has always made me feel like he needs to instigate conflict for conflicts sake. I also did not like how he flip-flopped his stance on the Tunnel in the previous election hastily saying he supported it to get the vote and then turned around and fought against it. Regardless what side of the tunnel debate you happen to be on, it still felt like a slight of hand. I know it won votes from several of my friends when he reluctantly said he wouldn’t stand in the way of the tunnel project. It has also bothered me a bit that Cascade Bicycle Club has been acting as McGinn’s PAC. Ever since I rode in the STP this summer, I’ve been getting non-stop emails and Facebook posts from CBC about voting for McGinn. It’s made me not want to join CBC next year, which I had planned to join for my next jaunt in the STP.
So anyway, just my concerns with the current mayor. I feel we need someone who knows how to collaborate with government stakeholders rather than ruffle their feathers to start getting things done around here. (Probably wishful thinking…)
