Lincoln candidates weigh in on issues Mayoral, regional council hopefuls debate at Jacob Beam By Mike Williscraft NewsNow About 200 Lincoln residents filled the gymnasium at Jacob Beam Elementary School for Lincoln Chamber of Commerce’s all-candidates event last Wednesday. While ward candidates were given an opportunity to make two-minute speeches,
candidates for mayor and regional councillor positions debated the key issues. While the regional councillor candidates provided some common themes with their answers, the same cannot be said for the duo running for mayor. Incumbent Sandra Easton outlined the
several accomplishments and projects in motion for council and the Town, while challenger Rob Condotta said spending is out of control. In fact, Easton said a lack of focus for major projects and a lack of a cultural and arts agenda within the Town were reasons she ran the first time
in 2014. Condotta said the municipality has accumulated too much bureaucratic waste and suffered from a lack of leadership at the regional table. Easton said problems at the Region are deep, but representation for Lincoln is not among them. “(Problems) were
done deliberately by the group called the cabal to try to create full-time jobs,” said Easton. Condotta did agree to some extent, saying, “There is a little boys’ club at the Region...A new council will bring integrity back to Regional Council,” said Condotta. See LINCOLN, Page 3
