		<description><![CDATA[  This much has become obvious &#8211; Mayor Francis is terrified of what writers at the Windsor Square will say.  No &#8211; not about his self-described &#8220;anal&#8221; behaviour, but how else to explain Chris Vander Doelen&#8217;s column in the June 5 Windsor Star pinning the issues facing the city parks on 204 front-line workers?

		<description><![CDATA[  According to the CBC, food trucks could be coming to Windsor. I say it&#8217;s about time. Nearly every weekend during the summer my parents would take my sister and me down to the Bluewater Bridge to enjoy a sampling of what we Sarnian&#8217;s called the world&#8217;s best french fries.  And it seemed we joined the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than 9 months ago an idea was conceived to address a bulge of complaints about the condition of our parks;  nine months later Mayor Francis and the $300,000 CAO Helga Reidel, delivered a bundle of failure and a handful of park closures. Late last year Gord Henderson, that &#8220;hard-hitting&#8221; columnist at the Windsor Star, assured us Francis [...]]]></description>

Mayor Eddie Francis  stated before residents moved into the new facility, &#8220;we had reports of mould&#8221;  (Chris Thompson, Windsor Star, May 27, 2013), yet the Windsor Star didn&#8217;t pursue this.

		<description><![CDATA[Fix the basics.  Streamline government.  Invest in the simple things. It&#8217;s the stuff election campaigns are made of. And anyone contemplating a run for the Mayor&#8217;s Office could turn to Anne Jarvis&#8217; recent column as the beginnings of a platform.  They could start by asking how much has been spent by all levels of government to &#8220;revitalize&#8221; downtown?
