In Kingston, our municipal election will be held on October 25 ... and thankfully, party politics are not involved ... there are no party blocs on council ... the concerns that voters have are strictly local: infrastructure, policing, property taxes, development of our beautiful waterfront, garbage and recycling etc. Party politics, and the resulting acrimony, is not an issue. And I don't think it should be. Voters will vote for the candidates they think will best represent their interests and who will do the best job for the City of Kingston.

I've said it before but you get out what you put in.

I have thrown myself into it and am loving every second, more or less. For me, it pays to be seen out and about in your ward working with people to help your community and the feeling of satisfaction when you get thanks for solving a resident's problem is priceless.

Conversely, you could bury your head in the sand for four years and still get your allowances. It all depends on what sort of person you are.
