More unhappy peasants!

I hope everyone reading this thread understands what is really going on. The clown at the head of this revolt is trying to get noticed as a candidate for mayor of the county [ a new position]. I have been told by some of his nieghbours that he also lead a fight against a water flood being proposed by a oil company. He was the strongest opponent until the oil company offer to pay him for his water at which point he sold it and his nieghbours out.

I never thought of that angle! Might even work for him? I think only 27% bothered to vote in the last municipal election and the more rural areas always vote heavy.
I hope this doesn't happen and I'll tell you why: When you get a one trick pony who obviously doesn't have a clue about how the system works...you are going to have problems. The fact is industry is paying the bills in Red Deer county and anyone who tries to curtail industry is going to hurt everyone!
I don't think there are any real declared candidates? I think the present Reeve will probably take a run at it? Not sure if he is going to be the best choice or not?
I would think the ratepayers should take a pretty hard look at how well the present council has governed the municipality.
