10 Questions for Mayor Tremblay.

Tomorrow between 8 and 9am Montreal Mayor Gerald Tremblay will be a guest of Andrew Carter on CJAD. He will be taking listners calls, and I have a list of questions he needs to be asked. The number to call is 514-790-0991. Call him up and ask any of the following questions! I know I will....

1) What Control do you have over the city's Boroughs and Their Mayors? Why not have a more centralised system?

(ok..two questions in one....)

2) WHy do you insist on keeping a borough mayor in your Party when they have neglected their role in the borough, have neglected the borough and have no intention in keeping any promises?

3) The new emergency snow cleaning program designed and to be implemented by your brother shows that a more centralised City administration works better than a decentralised borough system. Why not centralise the entire city administrations and get rid of the boroughs and borough mayors?

4) Why do the boroughs have city council reps who are paid close to 30K a year and have no vote on council and (in the case of Mile-end) do nothing?

5) Can you please fire the city'sublic works/infrastructure construction planner? He or she did a terrible job of planning the construction projects in the city this spring summer and upcoming fall.

6) DO you deny that most of the city's by-laws have been designed in a way that they are an indirect tax, making the population pay for violating these bylaws on a whim, without them even realising that there was even a bylaw to break?

7) DO you agree that the de maisonneuve Bike Path was a huge mistake and a complete waste of money?

8) Do you agree with the idea of delaying the municipal elections by two years so that they line up with the school board elections and can be held at the same time? (two more years of this administration?....please no!)

9) Now that property values are on the way down due to a correction in the housing market, will the city redo the property evaluations (downward) to reflect the new reality, or will it continue with the new evaluations created when the housing market was hot, thereby proving once again that everything the city omes up with to generate money for roads? water? etc? is actually a tax grab?

10) DO you agree that Mr. Andrew Carter is in line for an award for having rallied the city to vote and get Montreal the coveted Boardwalk Position on the World Monopoly Edition coming out soon!

Make sure you call!
And come up with your own follow up questions!

And make the Mayor sweat!

Have Fun!!
