Where is Pat Perkins ?
I wonder why Pat Perkins has not responded to this survey? Perhaps she knows her dismal environmental record would not look good.
Mayor Perkins was one of those who voted for the incinerator, let's not forget that.
Also, she seems to be against trees - that is not a very environmental position. See article excerpt below.

The mayor also commented on the placement of trees surrounding the future park's soccer field, which she said would sector off portions of the park, reducing visibility and opening the door to unsafe situations.
"We're trying to make things as open and accessible but we're planting barriers and we're creating opportunity for things to happen that we'd rather not happen."
Mayor Perkins brought forth a motion to have the landscaping of the project revisited to eliminate the abundance of trees. The recommendation was voted against by the majority of council, who leaned toward the natural environmental advantages of the trees.
