Incumbent Mayor Goes On The Campaign Offensive

Incumbent Mayor Ivan Court opening up his re-election headquarters today as he tries to win a second term as mayor of the city.

Court told his crowd of supporters that economic growth is a chief priority and he will create an industry task force if re-elected.

But Court also taking the gloves off on the other councilor and mayoral candidates -- he says there are some in the running who want to sell the city out to special interest groups.

However, Court refused to name any specific candidates.

Court added that being a mayor is a full-time job and does not believe candidate Mel Norton, who plans to continuing working even if elected, will be able to honour both commitments.
