What's in Santa's Sack for Newmarket Council

Has your Newmarket Council been naughty or nice in 2015?  Let's take a peak inside Santa's sack to see what will be waiting for them on Christmas morning.

Mayor Tony Van Bynen - with his popularity at a low ebb at the moment, Santa has decided to give the Mayor a Donald Trump comb-over.  It will stop all those mean spirited Montgomery Burns comparisons.  

Regional Councillor John Taylor - Santa has the shiniest silver star with the word "Deputy" engraved on it because people just simply forget that he is also the Deputy Mayor and Mayor Tony's right-hand man. 

Ward 1 Councillor Tom Vegh - Santa is bringing Councillor Vegh the invoice for his $1,000 stay at the Toronto Delta Hotel last January.  Really Councillor Tom, why did you stick this bill with the taxpayers?

Ward 2 Councillor Dave Kerwin - a cord of chopped wood for his fireside chats. 

Ward 3 Councillor Jane Twinney - Santa remembers the time when Ms. Twinney was candidate in 2010 she used to remind everyone that then-Councillor Victor Woodhouse didn't live in his ward.  This Christmas, Santa is bringing Councillor Jane some change of address postcards.

Ward 4 Councillor Tom Hempen - Santa is bringing a list of complaints from his tenants for work that needs to be done.  He is also bringing Councillor Tom a map with X's marking where he owns rental properties so Councillor Tom doesn't forget the ones that are located in the Davis Drive intensification area.

Ward 5 Councillor Joe Sponga - what Councillor Joe needs most of all is a calendar with the dates of upcoming council meetings, committee of the whole, and workshops circled in red.  Councillor Joe missed quite a few of these dates in 2015.

Ward 6 Councillor Kelly Broome Plumley - Santa would like to bring Councillor Kelly a gift but she seems to have gone missing. Last term, then Ward 6 councillor Maddie Di Muccio was always in the making news and getting results. This term, nobody knows where the new Ward 6 councillor is.  So Santa has filed a missing persons report with the police.  If you have seen Councillor Kelly, please let Santa know. 

Ward 7 Councillor Christina Bisanz - With the news that the local riding is splitting into two and signs that current MPP Chris Ballard is pondering a run for the Mayor of Aurora, Santa is bringing Councillor Christina a second shot at the Liberal nomination for Newmarket Aurora in 2018.
