Hazel in Austria ???

This morning at breakfast, I opened the daily Newspaper and I cannot believe my eyes:
There, prominently dispayed: A picture of Hazel McCallion...
In one of the largest circulation Newspapers in Austria appears good  old "Stormy Hazel",  the eternal Mayor of Mississauga. There is a short description of her career, indicating that she has functioned as Mississauga's mayor for ever and a day. That her age of 92 probably makes her the Oldest Mayor of a major Municipality world wide...  It describes her method of running the 6th largest City of Canada  (700,000 inhabitants)..
A democratically elected, time and again  elected, dictatorial Mayor. A "Dictator" governing this City "My Way, or the High Way." It speaks of her staff, who with great pride serve her. It mentions the fact that this City has Zero Debt and even during the hight of the recent Financial Crises, ran a balanced budget.
It also mentions the low Taxes, compared to other similar sized Cities.

It will be a sad day, when Hazel finally hangs up her political gavel.
Is there anybody in the wings, ready to take over, when she leaves the mayor's chair ?

I'm sure I'm not the only one asking this question.

I'm sure everyone is asking that question and the next mayor of Mississauga will be the same ol crappy politician they all are.

We should be able to clone her as a young copy of herself.
