Let Jeffrey drop out of race

Splitting vote in Brampton mayoral race, Letter May 8

Suggesting Brampton citizens encourage John Sanderson to drop from the Brampton mayoral race is preposterous, just because Linda Jeffrey declared and the anti-Fennell vote may be split. Might I remind the writer that Jeffrey entered the race three weeks later than Sanderson, after giving her word that she was not interested.

Why would I vote for a former Liberal cabinet minister who sat in silence as her leaders ran this province in to the ground; locked the doors of her constituency office in 2010 and called the police on those same voters who put her in office and declined to represent them in the Conestoga Dr. apartment fiasco; and who is only running for mayor out of political opportunism.

That would mean passing on a councillor who has an impeccable attendance at council, former volunteer of the year, former business person of the year ? Not a chance, lady!
