A question to ask Mayor Paul Tomlinson

To be eligible for the Diamond Jubilee Medal, a person must:

1. Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, but need not necessarily reside in Canada;
2. Be alive on February 6th, 2012, the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne. The medal can be awarded posthumously, as long as the recipient was alive on that date.
3. Have made a significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region or community within Canada, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.

We can safely assume that Paul Tomlinson meets criteria 1 and 2, but what significant contribution has His Worshipfulness single-handedly made that deserves a Diamond Jubilee Medal? Unless our illustrious mayor wants to come clean and admit that he wanted to hog all the glory for himself despite the award being presented for Council's contributions, perhaps His Awesomeness can regale us with his amazing deeds of daring-do. 

Here's the question, Paul:

Just what was your medal-worthy, significant contribution to Kearney, despite being "just one voice" and all?
