Check this link, an article about Becky Rundle running for Ward 3 Councillor
Becky has been a friend since we moved here, and after the initial surprise at seeing her in the newspaper, and finding out she was running for a political office, I was impressed by her goals and outlook.

The guy in the job now is out of town during the day for most of the week, and seems to be saying that he should be kept in his position because he's lived here longer.
....an absentee local, he believes, trumps a full time councillor.
I don't
Becky said "It’s time to eliminate the past stigmas, WELCOME the newcomers and, most importantly, start listening to the needs and wants of the taxpayers.”
Becky Rundle represents the NEW Georgina...the NEW Keswick.
The other guy?
Well, you know how I feel about some of those in authority in York Region...complacency, and smug entitlement abound.
I say TURF him.

“Georgina needs to develop a strategic plan, focusing on what we have, and enhancing it to the best of our ability. We need to create more employment opportunities, support our local businesses, facilities and community and cultural associations” - The FUTURE Councillor of Ward Three, Becky Rundle

I'll be voting for Becky Rundle.
