One of the more insidious tricks in the arsenal of negative campaigners is to spread rumours. They use phrases like “rumour has it…” or “the word on the street is…”, but of course the source is never given.
One such nasty rumour is that if I were re-elected, I would just be a “caretaker mayor”. I would just be finishing the few outstanding projects as I would be leaving for Australia soon after!
Whoever started such a malicious rumour must either be desperate or does not know me at all. Anyone who has ever worked with me knows of my passion for New Westminster, and my drive – I could never just coast along. My close associates know of the dreams I still have for New Westminster.
Me, a caretaker mayor – never! To find out the real Word on the Street, be sure to read the many testimonials on my website – they are real people from New Westminster and are representative of all walks of life – no rumours needed.
