I met my Councillor!

I was walking around my community one night, shortly after my letter to Gail Merhair, when I heard my name being called.

Susan Cornelius (I have known her since she was a toddler) was walking around with another female, giving out flyers for a health fair. Susan introduced me to my councillor Wendy Gibbs.

So here is the story. I told Councillor Gibbs exactly what I had written in the letter to Gail Merhair. We stood on the pavement for about half an hour discussing some of the problems of Mon Repos Navet. I must say I was surprised by Councillor Gibbs. Not just that she is young and extremely attractive. I understand that most of the female Councillors on the San Fernando City Corporation are.

She took the criticisms well. She asked me to e-mail her the blog address. She was most articulate in debating some of the points and presenting some of the obstacles facing a local government representative, any local government representative. I met Councillor Gibbs a second time and she was still cheerful and optimistic. I consider this the basis for a good working relationship. I look forward to seeing Councillor Gibbs again.
