posted (December 24, 2014)

Mayor Darrell Bradley – last Friday you heard him speak about his decision to seek another term as Mayor. Well, we also asked him about his opponent Yolanda Schakron – and he said he hopes that she challenges him:…

Darrell Bradley, Mayor - Belize City

"What I want from Ms. Shakron is that she brings to the table a critical debate and discussion in relation to a vision and direction and an action plan as to how it related to how she will move Belize city forward. I have that and one of the things I don't appreciate from our political campaigns is the level of it and the depth of it is, vote for me because that one theif. That's all we talk about, so what I want for this municipal election and the general elections we talk really about issues. I have no problem is people don't like me, I have no problem is people don't vote for me. But I will tell you squarely what Darrell Bradley is about, what values we stand for in terms of our council, our emphasis on areas of moving Belize City forward and I am very confident we are about principle and we have a clear vision."

The mayor also discussed the trials of office and the mark he's made:..

Jules Vasquez

"Is there ever a moment when you say, is it something I really want to do and constantly have to face this recurrent payment crisis?"

Darrell Bradley

"Well Jules i'll be honest with you, that's something I face everyday. It's always a frustrating thing to deal with a certain office and to know you, yourself, me Darrell Bradley, I know that I could do better. I know that residence of Belize City can have better and I'm frustrated that we can't really be discussing these issues because we're bogged down by Ideas. Oh, the mayor cleared out his office, this the happen, that the happen. When in truth, these are the issues we really need to talk about to make Belize City the place that is teaming with economic and social opportunities. That's what we need to be doing. You'd ask me a question in terms of the debate of my opponent, I wish that she would bring that kind of analysis and that kind of discussion and debate to the discussion so that we could talk among ourselves."

The muncipals are set for the first week in March, 2015.
