From the September 12 edition of Metro:
New district boundaries mean several incumbents will face off for a council seat, but it鈥檚 the lack of an incumbent that鈥檚 got all eyes fixed on the mayoral campaign.
新加坡六合彩开奖直播's Jack Novack said the odds are in favour of formal Liberal MP Mike Savage.
鈥淎t this point he probably has to play it fairly safe, not do anything silly, and he should be okay,鈥 said Novack.
With Peter Kelly鈥檚 decision to stay out of the race, Novack said the discussion can now focus on the future.
Now it鈥檚 about, 鈥榃hat do we want to be when we grow up?鈥欌 he said. 鈥淲hat is our future like? What do we hope the legacy of this council will be in four years?鈥
Novack said the races to watch will be in districts where two current councillors聽 are battling for one seat, such as in District 8 with Dawn Sloane and Jennifer Watts.
He said name recognition is a significant factor in Nova Scotia, presenting a major challenge for newcomers running against sitting councilors.
鈥淚f you鈥檙e an incumbent councilor there鈥檚 a 75 per cent chance you鈥檙e going to get re-elected,鈥 said Novack. 鈥淣ow we have two incumbents, so that鈥檒l be interesting.鈥
