Hello my name is Jerry Desormeaux and I am running for council for the Ward 5 district. I'm a business owner and a concerned taxpayer like everyone else. I decided to run because of the way our current mayor and council have ran this city. There is a lack of leadership the constant mis spending of our hard earn money and tax dollars its time to stop. We need new faces new blood new ideas to move our city forward. I'm here as a business owner and its time we ran the city like a business rather than a charity. I want to invest our dollars into attracting new doctors to our community, job growth, new industry affordable housing for our seniors and families and cleaning up our downtown core. Lets move forward on the entertainment district but be buget conscious on spending. Take on one project at a time and not burden taxpayers with more cost we are out of money. There are so many issues to deal with in our city people and business owners I spoke with agree. We need to address the on going eye sore of the old hospital either we make the current owners build or remove the whole building completely. Thanks for listening I will have more in the following weeks. Please feel free to follow my facebook posting. Jerry Desormeaux Ward 5 I'm not going to sugar coat its time for change its time to move our city forward I can be reached anytime for more information and I would like to hear your feed back and concerns for our city. Kind Regards Jerry Desormeaux Candidate for Ward 5
