- Hodges still in Ward 1 - seems willing to work with others based on comments since the election, but still suspect due to generally being grossly out-of-touch for much of the last decade
- McIver (Ward 12) gone, but basically replaced by Demong (Ward 14), based on early indications
- Jury still out on Pootmans (Ward 6) and Keating (Ward 12). Not sure what to make of them, but I'm semi-optimistic about Keating being receptive of others' ideas and working with them.
- Ray Jones still blending in with the council chambers furniture while representing Ward 5.

I'm not plugged in to all the goings on wrt City Council. Could you elaborate on Urquhart and Chabot? What issues are they out of line on? Do you think Farrell is a good Alderman? Any opinions welcome.
