		<title>Rumors around the position of Deputy Mayor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately, there has been a great deal of discussion around the position of Deputy Mayor.  Many people are trying to figure out if Stephen Chase will be the Deputy Mayor.  There have been rumors that Ivan Court does not want this; but, could he actually pick someone else?
On February 12th, 2008, the following [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Rumors around the position of Deputy Mayor", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/16/rumors-around-the-position-of-deputy-mayor/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Saint John Police to spend $13,000 on a T3 personal mobility vehicle?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a strange story that I read today.
The Saint John Police are spending $13,000 on a T3 personal mobility vehicle.  This is a three-wheeled electric vehicle.  The device can travel at speeds up to 40 km/h and has a siren and high beams.
What gets me is the following:
The T3 will allow police [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Saint John Police to spend $13,000 on a T3 personal mobility vehicle?", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/15/saint-john-police-to-spend-13000-on-a-t3-personal-mobility-vehicle/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Recount in Saint John Ward 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, CBC and the Telegraph-Journal wrote stories around the Ward 2 recount.
It looks like these rejected ballots were actually special ballots, ones that were filled out ahead of time, and not read into the machine until election night.
This was too late to detect the error in the ballots.  However, even though there were problems [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Recount in Saint John Ward 2", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/15/recount-in-saint-john-ward-2/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Rejected ballots put Higgins a single vote over White!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The breaking news just in is that two previously rejected ballots have been counted, and both ballots were for Higgins.
On election night, White was declared the winner by a single vote.  With these two votes now counted, Higgins is now ahead of White by a single vote.  It looks like White will have [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Rejected ballots put Higgins a single vote over White!", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/14/rejected-ballots-put-higgins-a-single-vote-over-white/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Saint John 2008 Municipal Election Results</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The results are in for the Saint John 2008 Municipal Election!
Overall, the turnout was lower then I was expecting at 50.58%; however, 24,078 people did vote, and they did make major changes to Council.
I believe the big winners were Ivan Court and Stephen Chase.

		<title>ACAP&#8217;s March Creek Cleanup 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Today, I attended ACAP&#8217;s March Creek Cleanup with Stephen Chase.  The event was sponsored by Canaport LNG.
While the weather wasn&#8217;t the nicest, the turnout was more then the organizers expected!  I think that says a lot about our community.  Freezing weather along with the chance of rain won&#8217;t keep people from making [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "ACAP&#8217;s March Creek Cleanup 2008", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/10/acaps-march-creek-cleanup-2008/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>The Benny Lava Video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this hilarious video today.  Someone translated the video into English; but, it&#8217;s not a normal translation, they just put down what it sounds like in English.  Even if you don&#8217;t find the words funny, you will find the video to be exceptionally ridiculous!
You gotta check it out:

		<title>My latest letter to the editor - Recent attack ads are uncalled for</title>

		<title>Campaign By The Clock was a success!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, Campaign by the Clock took place in Market Square.
The event was organized by Fusion Saint John and the Saint John Board of Trade.
We were able to attract most of the candidates, including everyone running for Mayor, who took the time to speak with the people on-on-one.
Although we didn&#8217;t get a huge crowd, a [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Campaign By The Clock was a success!", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/09/campaign-by-the-clock-was-a-success/" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Chase calls radio attack ads inaccurate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, Stephen Chase set the record straight on the radio attack ads targeting him personally.
&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m a prime minister in a federal election,&#8221; Chase said Thursday, referring to the very personal nature of Federal politics.
Who is responsible?
The radio ads are being played by the &#8220;Coalition for Concerned Citizens&#8221;, the same group that tried [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Chase calls radio attack ads inaccurate", url: "http://saintjohnshawn.com/2008/05/09/chase-calls-radio-attack-ads-inaccurate/" });</script>]]></description>
