Before you cast your vote for the next Hamilton mayor, consider the following words chosen by the current Mayor at a recent Council Livestream meeting, spoken to my chief opponent, paraphrased, 'We are on the same page'. Rather than a random turn of phrase, the expressions 'aligned' and 'same thought track' reveal a deep-seated synchrony between the two baby boomer politicians. Because if electors vote in Hon Tim Macindoe, under a new leader in name only, Hamilton city will continue to quadruple its growing debt, compound massive rate increases for residents and grossly overspend into deficit. Hon Tim Macindoe, running for mayor, would be past retirement age once he completes his term in Office, were he to be elected. Hamilton City Councillor Sarah "no half-measures" Thomson, who the Press have hastily dubbed a mayoral front-runner, is likewise unprepared for the rigors of high office.
