Specifically, the Mayoral bid by Councillor Gallo.<br \/>\nHe had launched a facebook page titled \u201cMayor Gallo\u201d, complete with the tagline \u201cNew Mayor, Better Town\u201d, and the announcement of an election fundraiser with entertainment provided by St Kitts music. However, after he posted, he had received a number of complaints and has since changed the page name to \u201cGallo for Mayor\u201d.<br \/>\nHowever, his fundraiser remains promoted as \u201cMayor Gallo\u201d.<br \/>\nFor a Councillor to refer to himself as \u201cMayor\u201d is, at the very least, misleading and in my opinion, arrogant, ego-driven and impudent, assuming the role is already his.<br \/>\nReferring to his campaign, his website uses words and phrases like \u201ctransparency\u201d, \u201crespectful\u201d, \u201clead by example\u201d, and \u201cmindful of due process\u201d. I would argue that falsely promoting and referring to himself as Mayor before the people have made their choice is neither respectful nor mindful of due process.<br \/>\nAnd if this is leading by example, then I wonder who\u2019s setting that example?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Maddocks<br \/>\nAurora<\/strong><\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F6395&#038;t=Mayoral%20candidate%E2%80%99s%20facebook%20promo%20was%20%E2%80%9Carrogant%E2%80%9D&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F6395&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Mayoral%20candidate%E2%80%99s%20facebook%20promo%20was%20%E2%80%9Carrogant%E2%80%9D\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F6395&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Mayoral%20candidate%E2%80%99s%20facebook%20promo%20was%20%E2%80%9Carrogant%E2%80%9D&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F6395\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are in April, and already the bull-cookies are ramping up on the Aurora municipal election scene.
