One of our Realtors around town commented on the Post article this morning regarding Varela and said that Varela had a "mandate." Unfortunately, no one really knows what the Varela platform is. There was never a solution that any voter rallied around that got him elected. We do, however, know what he has said.Rene says:
- I’ll fight to hold the line on taxes by diversifying the local economy to expand the tax base.
- I’ll work hard to create high-quality jobs by focusing on green, clean technologies to attract new businesses to our city.
- I'll save our natural resources.
- I want to shore up the Casino. We can't afford to restore it.
- I’ll streamline governmental regulations for small business owners.
- I’ll make government more efficient.
- I’ll balance the budget and live within our means.
- I'll re-engineer our Utilities.
- I’ll work as hard as you do.
Ok, so that’s the "mandate" that catapulted him to the Mayoral position? These are nothing but typical campaign promises. Where is the platform? Where are the solutions? This is NO mandate. He won; that is what he did.
This picture really is worth a thousand words!LOL
