It's the talk of the town and the
campaign isn't even underway yet. Moose Jaw will vote for a new mayor and
council October 28th. Thursday we brought you the news of Mayor Dale
McBain deciding against re-election due to prostate cancer treatment.
Today, the questions surrounding our
next mayor are already being asked and we've been able to get in
touch with the man that appears to be at the centre of most
conversations. Former Moose Jaw North MLA Glenn Hagel.
"Its something that we're giving
some thought to. I've had some encouragement and I'm definitely
considering running for mayor. What I want to do is take the summer
and talk to people about what they see the future of Moose Jaw being
and also to decide if I can bring the kind of leadership that Moose
Jaw wants."
Hagel served Moose Jaw in the
legislature for 21 years before losing to the Saskatchewan Party's
Warren Michelson in the last provincial election. Hagel says he
plans to have a decision made by Labour Day.
Mayor Dale McBain says three potential candidates
had contacted him about his intentions but he declined to comment on
who those people were. The official nomination process doesn't even start
until September with the vote set for October 28th.
