Campbell Eyes A Run At The Horseshoe


City Hall management needs to be overhauled...........That's John Campbell's big priority as he announces he'll be running in the May municipal election to be councillor at large. Campbell claims there's a lot of fat to be cut despite claims to the contrary.

He says front line workers coming to him with ideas and he thinks one would be to restructure management.

Ironically, Campbell has a letter before Common Council on the city's financially beleaguered pension plan. He's recommending there be a transition from a defined benefits plan to defined contributions where the benefits will depend on how the stock market performs.

He says these plans are being used by a variety of companies around the world to make it viable and financially secure.

Campbell says major projects like Peel Plaza and the transit garage on the east side have to be called into question if they adversely affect day to day services.
