Ghost Mayors ...on City Services

From garbage collection to policing, recreation to power generation, the City of Edmonton provides a lot to its residents. Our city's former mayors sure have some thoughts on what could be done better. And what they'd rather just take care of without you sticking your nose into it. We just hope Fightin' Joe Clarke doesn't show up to settle the score with Mayor McNamara... In this forum: Mayor Matthew (Mat) "Warden" McCauley - Edmonton's first mayor Mayor William J. McNamara - First mayor to defeat a sitting incumbent, in the city's closest race (still the closest race to date). Mayor William "Wild Bill" Hawrelak - 3 time mayor, twice had to leave office because of land deals, eventually died in office
