Eisenberger to seek second term

Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger said he will be seeking a second term for office in next year’s municipal election.

The first term mayor, who upset the heavily favoured Larry Di Ianni in the 2006 municipal election, said he is proposing a wider agenda of proposals to continue what he describes as the city’s “momentum” of success.

“Most of the things I laid out in the election platform last time are either done or in the process, so sure I would like to see a lot of it completed,” said Mr. Eisenberger in an interview.

“But I have a lot of other things in the queue, big issues like light-rail transit, and the 2015 Pan Am (games announcement).”

The city did lose out on landing an NHL hockey franchise when an Arizona bankruptcy judge denied Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie an opportunity to purchase the Arizona Coyotes. But he is looking at a number of other city-changing projects including be part of the Golden Horseshoe that would host the Pan Am Games and Metrolinx funding the city’s light-rail transit project. Both announcements are expected over the next two months.
The mayor said he will be talking about the future of Hamilton in the campaign.
