The anonymous writer who referred to the \u201cthree stooges\u201d is obviously in political alignment with others, for whatever reason. I personally detest such unenlightened myopic self-interest. A Council that is so divided on every issue, however small or large, for reasons of political motivation, is generally unproductive and, frankly, unhealthy for the community.<br \/>\nI hope that with experience they can learn to do a better job by respecting each other and working for the common good of the residents.<br \/>\nJust take a look south of the border (The United States, not Richmond Hill!) and see the results of political dysfunction! It is a difficult decision to take time from your family and your career to serve in your community.<br \/>\nAs for John\u2019s hair, if I had any hair left on my head, I\u2019d go into the barbershop and proudly say \u201cGive me The Gallo\u201d.
