Oh please Cynthia, don’t break our hearts again
Bicycle paths, the Cynthia Dunsford cause of the month

Cynthia Dunsford, our gal Friday on social issues lost in space?
Cynthia was a great pre-2007 election supporter of “cosmetic pesticides” an oxymoron like military intelligence and reform of the Disability Support Program. She held forth at every opportunity on what she would do if elected, at the Farmer’s Market, in the street, in the stores. Cyn was our gal Friday – one of us amongst the suits.
