As a resident and taxpayer in St. Albert, I believe it is important to look back to the civic election of 2001 for some guidance as to what we citizens should do with regards to some of the incumbents who are running for council in 2017.

Calling all eligible voting St. Albertans. I encourage everyone to come out and exercise their right to choose who they would have steer our city to success. Keep in mind everyone is entitled to his or her opinion and this is mine.
