After fifteen years in politics, Councillor Dave Braden of Ward 14 talks about what the past 3 years under Mayor DiIanni has been like.

For the last two and a half years, Hamilton Mayor Larry Di Ianni has been saying that dozens of illegal gifts to his election campaign were “honest mistakes.” He’s written over 50 refund cheques for over contributions totalling over $23,000. What he hasn’t done, and must do, is explain exactly how his campaign honestly accepted all these illegal donations.

He should start by explaining very carefully why he spent so much on lawyers trying to prevent a full audit of his books, and why he remains so bitter toward the citizen who pointed out these
problems. Most folks who make honest errorsusually appreciate someone letting them know so they can apologize for the mistakes and make them right.

In May of 2004 Aldo DiSantis stated;
"Once the Red Hill Expressway is finished, connecting upper Hamilton to the Queen Elizabeth Highway "it will be the lynchpin" that will open "Summit Park to a large group of potential new homeowners through increased accessibility."
(Stoney Creek news).

That vision DiSanti’s painted was and is a dated idea that wouldn’t be called sound planning now or in the immediate future.
With the Ontario Governments Greenbelt plan and the Places to grow act, one would hope that all developers would try to be on-board with the coming crunch of increased population and decreased supply of Oil.
