I love that image that an area photog did of moi.  He meant it badly, mostly because he’s kinda young and probably never understood or watched Citizen Kane.     He’s an example of a young person in Cornwall, with some talent, who sold his soul to get the loveContinue Reading

The buck stops at the Mayor as he is the leader.   Council dictates policy which in a perfect world is enacted by management.   Then again sometimes management dictates to a weak and ignorant council lacking vision, leadership, and direction.
