*************************

In this reader's opinion, Mr. Morales needs to focus on the many important issues in his ward and the city.

Every minute around the council table should be productive! 

Micro-mangers spending time on a totally meaningless issue that is self-serving is counterproductive for our city.

Homelessness, safety in our downtown, improvement to transit and affordable housing are just a few of the issues for discussion.

Yes, let’s make it a positive opportunity!
