John Rodriguez plans to run for Sudbury's top job

He's not out of the gates yet, but aformer Sudbury mayor says he absolutely intends to run for the top spot in the2014 municipal election.

In an interview with Radio-Canada this week, John Rodriguez said the citys top job is one that is not finished for him. He held the post before the current mayor, Marianne Matichuk, won the mayors race in the 2010 election.

Matichuk received 25,042 votes (46 per cent) and Rodriguez received 19,819 (36 per cent).

Rodriguez remarked that, when he was mayor, he and city councillors worked as a team.

He also noted council needs to have a vision for the community and added that, right now, a vision doesnt exist.
