ELECTION ROUNDUP<\/i><\/b>

Keyword: Experience<\/b><\/p>\n

As Marcel C\u00f4t\u00e9\u2019s pick for mayor of the borough of Verdun, Alain Tass\u00e9\u2019s experience serves as both his biggest strength and a potential weakness.<\/p>\n

As a current member of Montreal\u2019s executive committee, the 56-year-old takes care of urban planning, economic development and water, a position that gives him a strong overview of how the borough of Verdun fits within the city of Montreal. Locally, he\u2019s known for his strong advocacy of social housing and grass-roots community development.<\/p>\n

In this mandate, he plans to prioritize the cultural life of Verdun through major projects like a new aquatic centre, the auditorium renovation, the Circus school expansion and the updating of Wellington Street. Making the entire borough universally-accessible is also important to his team.<\/p>\n

Tass\u00e9 has served as an active municipal politician since 1993, when he served as councillor for the then-City of Verdun. His strength as a strong spokesman in both French and English has served several municipal governments well, even when they made unpopular decisions, such as those that led to school overcrowding on Nun\u2019s Island.<\/p>\n

After serving as a borough councillor for seven years under the Union Montreal banner, he took a big risk to join five others and join Montreal\u2019s executive council under Michael Applebaum\u2019s leadership. He was also one of two local councillors called when UPAC raided Verdun borough hall.<\/p>\n

His recent success at negotiating with Verdun-based members of Vision Montreal should help his campaign, especially now that he has two highly-respected members\u2014Andr\u00e9 Julien and Fran\u00e7oise Gloutnay\u2014on his team.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nAlain Tass\u00e9 Joins Marcel Cot\u00e9 Team<\/a><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

\nwww.thesuburban.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Alain Tass\u00e9 will run as Verdun mayor under the Marcel Cot\u00e9 banner in the municipal election in November.<\/p>\n

He likes that Cot\u00e9 plans to run a coalition government in which candidates from opposing viewpoints can work together.<\/p>\n

\n“The more time goes by, the more we are working by consensus. I want to continue this coalition philosophy, this way of doing politics. This is what Marcel Cot\u00e9 offers.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Likes Coalition Model<\/b>
\nTass\u00e9 appreciates the coalition model he has worked under since he joined the executive council formed by Michael Applebaum last November. He says it works better at the municipal level than legislative assembly style politics does.<\/p>\n

Before the coalition, the mayor would stand and speak on a dossier and it would be difficult to vote against the mayor if you were in Union Montreal. I don\u2019t want to exaggerate, because G\u00e9rald was not like that. It happened sometimes that some of us voted against the mayor and none of us were sanctioned, but there was unease in the caucus. There was grumbling. In the opposition, they studied a file and they said that they were okay with it, but they voted against it anyway. So they were uneasy too.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says discussions with councillors who have opposing philosophies takes longer, but he believes the extra time leads to better decisions. \u201cMost of the time, we get to consensus very easy. On the major topics, we have to talk. I have to let go of something and someone else has to let go of something else, so that we can negotiate something we can both live with. Once in a while, we vote. That\u2019s that. That\u2019s the form of democracy, we\u2019re in. I like this way of doing business.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\nTass\u00e9 plans to model Boss\u00e9 style<\/b><\/p>\n

Tass\u00e9 says that what happened in the former city of Verdun under Mayor George Boss\u00e9 could happen in Montreal now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was elected in 1993 and I worked for one year under George Boss\u00e9,\u201d he said. \u201cThere was a party, but it was only a party for the campaign to get financing and to have a unique platform and unique colours, but George Boss\u00e9 put up a team of people with many different backgrounds and many different areas of expertise. We complimented each other. I came from community organizations in housing. Someone else was a merchant. Someone else had sports. We did not have the same political views. I was a left winger and some of us were quite right wingers\u2026What I liked from that team\u2014we were fourteen then, 13 councillors and one mayor\u2014every one of us in our respective expertise was even stronger than the others, even than the mayor. That made George Boss\u00e9 a strong mayor and I\u2019d like to duplicate that. I\u2019ve always liked team work and to be surrounded by strong people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nSix Others to Run with Tass\u00e9<\/b><\/p>\n

In the last month or so, Tass\u00e9 has finalized a team of six other people interested in running in Verdun with him. Some were elected to council under the Union Montreal banner and others are new to local politics. They aren\u2019t quite ready to launch their campaign in Verdun, but plan to do so soon.<\/p>\n

We have not announced yet mostly because we are not sure of how we will go,\u201d said Tass\u00e9 during an interview last Thursday night. \u201cWill we form a local party? Will we want to join a political party, called say Coalition Montreal, and present candidates under that banner? Or will each of us run as independents and support each other?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nVerdun Vision to Come<\/b><\/p>\n

For now, they\u2019re focusing their discussions on their vision for Verdun.<\/p>\n

You have to have a vision of how is it going to look in twenty years from now if I start working on it now. That\u2019s what I want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
