He’s a newbie in political circles but he’s still going for Mayor’s chair.
Don Darling spent 20 years working in the building industry all over the Maritimes and he thinks that experience would help him be a good Mayor.
CHSJ News asked him what he thinks the biggest challenges are facing Saint John.
He says stagnant population and stagnant tax growth and some of the challenges related to the perception of the openness Saint John has for business.
We head to the polls on May 9th and Darling’s competition for mayor are retired businessman Howard Yeomans, current Deputy Mayor Shelley Rinehart, current councillor Bill Farren and former councillor Patti Higgins.
