School trustee Matlow throws hat in the ring

Looks to improve communication, increase public space

Kate Robertson

SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE Josh Matlow has announced his intention to run for city council in the 2010 municipal election.

The St.Paul’s trustee said he decided to run because he feels the culture of city politics in Toronto needs a change.

 

“Many people in our community and Toronto as a whole are not happy with how thoughtless the debates seem to be at the school board and City Hall,” Matlow said. “It’s squabbling rather than responsible decision making.”

Matlow said that, when it comes to Ward 22, community consultation on local development projects needs to be improved. Matlow also said that more public spaces for the community to come together need to be created.

Incumbent Michael Walker has not confirmed whether or not he will run again in November 2010.

“Coun. Walker is currently undecided but is leaning heavily toward running,” said Chris Sellors,Walker’s executive assistant. Sellors did not say when Walker will make his decision.
