March 24 and 25: A leaked memo reveals that Mayor Fennell asked the city treasurer to initiate a "stop of salary", at the end of October, before a salary report release.

Council must approve changes to the mayor's salary, and many councillors suggested the move was illegal. Sanderson questioned the act of cutting salary in the lead up to an election. Group Citizens For a Better Brampton questioned whether she can reverse the decision after the election, and receive the back owed pay.http://www.bramptonguardian.com/news-story/4429036-update-fennell-s-pay-cut-followed-rules-say-staff/ UPDATE: Fennell's pay cut followed rules, say staff Bramptonguardian.com 2014-03-24 2016-06-25San Grewal https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/03/25/bramptons_susan_fennell_asked_her_pay_be_cut_ahead_of_salary_report.html Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell altered her 2013 pay ahead of salary report release | Toronto Star Thestar.com 2014-03-25 2016-06-25

The BBOT is concerned that if all candidates are invited to speak, individuals will then simply state their positions with little or no opportunity for them to challenge one another or for panelists to hold them accountable in their answers.

The mayoral race in Mississauga was noted for the retirement of Hazel McCallion, who had served as the city's mayor since 1978 and often faced only token opposition in past campaigns, thus giving rise to the city's first genuinely competitive mayoral race in many years."Race to replace Mississauga Mayor ‘Hurricane’ Hazel begins without key rival". The Globe and Mail, January 17, 2014. The leading candidates were Bonnie Crombie and Steve Mahoney, both former Members of Parliament. A third former MP, Carolyn Parrish, was widely believed to be a potential candidate as well, but instead confirmed her intention to run for a council seat rather than for mayor.
Through much of the year, Mahoney and Crombie were effectively tied in public opinion polling; although Mahoney led slightly in most polls, his lead rarely exceeded the poll's margin of error.Grewal San Bonnie Crombie pulls ahead in Mississauga mayor's race: Poll https://www.thestar.com/news/mississauga/2014/10/16/bonnie_crombie_pulls_ahead_in_mississauga_mayors_race_poll.html 20 October 2014 Toronto Star 16 October 2014 Both candidates' platforms were nearly identical, with the only substantive point of distinction between them being Mahoney's proposal to implement high-occupancy vehicle lanes on some city streets as an interim measure, while working toward the longer-term implementation of rapid transit improvements that both candidates favoured. In early October, however, McCallion made a speech in which, while stopping short of calling it an official endorsement, she appeared to favour Crombie as her successor;"Bonnie Crombie claims support of Mayor Hazel McCallion". Toronto Star, October 12, 2014. the speech almost immediately vaulted Crombie into a 25-point lead over Mahoney.
There were a total of 10 registered candidates.

Awareness polls
In mid-September 2014, Mahoney commissioned a poll of 824 people using interactive voice response. Main Street Technologies added the names of the three Toronto mayoral front-runners to Mississauga front-runners' names, to demonstrate Mahoney's observation that many Mississauga residents were unaware of the municipal election or its candidates.Brennan Richard J.
