Once again, I am forced by circumstance to cover the mayoral race, whose election takes place in November....next year! Please God make it stop. Please?. Chris Fox, co-owner of Sly Fox Pub, where CP has enjoyed lunch and has dined on the outdoor patio, is running for mayor.(Do they still have Thursday night specials with Red Stripe? It sounds communist...)
Fox may be a well-known entrepreneur, but he is relatively unknown in political circles. Maybe that's a good thing. His web-site addresses this and explains his views on many issues. He has a section in Spanish (with no English translation but basically he says he is familiar with immigrants and is concerned about them) but I am not sure why he is reaching out in Spanish, although there's nothing wrong with that. However, he should post it in English too. Por favor por todos que habla el Ingles.
Fox has obviously put some thought into a lot of issues and as a businessman, brings that much needed perspective to civil and governmental affairs. I like that he comes right out and says public housing is his number one concern and he is interested in public transit but the first thing he mentions about parking is his perceived need to expand it. NO. NO. NO. That will be the kiss of death bringing only more traffic and congestion. Let's talk about limiting parking and making downtown for people. We don't have a parking problem, we have a transportation challenge.
He advocates a city manager form of government! Excellent. Please keep pressing on that one. It's refreshing to see someone taking on hard issues in a straightforward and thoughtful manner. And he also posts a link to Capital Punishment--good move Chris. Hey--talk to me about advertising on CP for the pub or your campaign....I don't endorse any candidate, just ideas!!
So far I have promoted the websites of McFall, Flyntz and now Fox and will continue to do so unfairly and subjectively...but I will be an equal opportunity exploiter. Take no prisoners. But you can get involved in our future and learn more about Chris Fox at http://www.foxformayor.com/index.html
