Is Andy Misleading the Public

I don't have a problem with Mr. Haydon using his political experience to his advantage in this election. I do however object to him exaggerating that experience. I got this off his website

7. TAXES - INEVITABLE BUT CONTROLLABLEWhile I was Mayor of Nepean, we were successful in becoming debt free with taxes consistent with the cost of living through a series of initiatives that drew raves from all across North America. Those same principles must be introduced at Ottawa City Hall.

Now if someone didn't know better like the majority of the younger voters in Ward 22 they would be led to believe Mr Haydon was responsible for the success the City of Nepean had in keeping taxes down. What he fails to mention in his literature is that he was only Mayor of Nepean for a week....A friggin week and he was not even elected. Ben Franklin assumed Mayor duties a week after Mr Haydon did.

For him to have the nerve to lead people to believe he had something to do with Nepeans record on taxes and spending is pure bull. He had nothing to do with it from what I can find out and he should not be taking credit for it.

Have you checked Andy's record on taxes when he was Chair of the Region? Be prepared to be wowed and not in the conservative way.

Where exactly did you find that information? I have been looking and for a guy that is supposed to have such extensive experience I can't find any specifics about him.
