Who's going to notice that she's back? She's the original do-nothing councilor. She has always maintained that she is too busy to bother reading up on what she is voting on and has even voted to put in illegal camps in ward 7 because she can't be bothered to either look at a zoning map or stroll a few blocks and take a look.

I wish her well for her health and all other aspects of her life. Claire's a good person. Actually, she's a very good person. She just happens to be an awful representative for ward 7. In fact, had she not taken ill, which led to an assumption that she would be stepping down soon, there would have been a massive and likely successful write-in campaign to replace her. (There were several hundred volunteers ready to go door to door.) It was halted owing to her health issues. Hopefully that wasn't a mistake.
