In my opinion she is an awful councillor who typically does not add anything constructive to these development debates. All I have seen from her are meaningless statements like "it's too tall!". I remember her sharing a nugget about almost being blown over by the Maritime Centre to argue against the United Gulf towers. Apparently she is the expert, not the engineers who conduct wind studies.
On top of this there's the constant BS about how Dartmouth doesn't get its fair share and how things should be located there instead of Halifax. Again, that is just not constructive and not what the city needs. Neighbourhood-level jealousy and pettiness is just pathetic. She should champion her district but that does not mean that she needs to tear other areas down to do it. It's particularly sad since she is personally contributing to Dartmouth's problems by torpedoing opportunities for new investment.
All of the praise of her that I have heard has been incredibly vague. For example, people will say that she cares about Dartmouth or that she's impressive because she's old. Nobody points to substantive accomplishments. The only positive thing I can say is that the people who judge their councillors in that way deserve them.
