do any miracles for she adding that she intends to run again in three but for me As a what Ever i i Felt we we rent being repro Vandal Evelyne Reese flip flopped for two years on the Arena then during the provincial elec she want in City Hall because she was running for her seat was it was a blatant Lack of Vandal plans to immediately address the Lack of single Parent and elderly housing in the Ward and to draw More attention to the historical and cultural uniqueness of physician John Scatliff said he backed Vandal because 1 liked his ideas and Hes new while resident Michael Caron voted against Reese because of the Way she handled the Arena Charles in the Charles Ward left vacant by retiring Deputy mayor George Pat Phillips successfully banked on her experience As a school trustee to outrun five other i think i served people Well in my 15 years of being a school said adding that a tax Survey by the Manitoba taxpayers association helped As voters John and Cornelia who live on the South Side of the Assiniboine agreed that they and Many others voted for Phillips mainly because of her experience As a trustee and because she came to their Tom who ran second to Fraser in the Ward
