I had a candidate actually ask if I had any ties to developers before accepting my offer to donate.
I agree that it's a privilege to be able to turn down financial support. But that same privilege shows up in all parts of the process. Few local government policial positions pay a living wage, so you already have need to have other income and a flexible schedule.
Twitter is a strange place! I always question whether views represented there are representative of the wider population. Great points about other interest groups not being under scrutiny.
May I share a letter on a related topic. The letter is a work in progress/ that is I am still writing the letter.

Due to an unfortunate circumstance I currently "live" in the City of Waterloo. I also share ownership of a condominium in the City of Kitchener. It has been an education in more ways than one.
On October 24, 2022 I will legally able to vote for the Mayor of Waterloo, Mayor of Kitchener, a Counsellor in City of Waterloo and the Ward 9 Counsellor in Kitchener. In addition I can vote for two public school; board Trustees representing the City of Waterloo and four public school board Trustees representing the City of Kitchener.
.I am vote for the Chairperson of Waterloo Region.
The Mayor of Kitchener, Mayor of Waterloo and Mayor of Woolwich not only are seen as the mayor of the their government. they also have a seat at the Region of Waterloo.
.
1. Developers who own land in multiple municipal have more than one one vote eh. They can vote in any riding where they own land. 2. Among other things I have long advocated that School Board Trustee elections be a different date than Municipal elections. 3. Well I have more things to say, although I would like to enter into a dialogue.
