WATCH: Two years on the job, Mayor Shoemaker sees progress

After releasing his latest six-month report card, the mayor stopped by our SooToday studio for an in-depth chat about the old hospital, traffic lights and Donald Trump

Mayor Matthew Shoemaker has released his latest six-month report card, part of a campaign promise to keep the community informed about key initiatives.

This instalment marks an anniversary for the mayor: the halfway point of his first four-year term.

Will he run for another? That's one of the many questions we asked him this week during a wide-ranging conversation in our SooToday studio.

We also talked about the city's $4.75-million purchase of the old hospital, the latest statistics on the local opioid crisis — and roundabouts!

Algoma Steel emissions? Self-cleaning toilets? Vacant houses? We cover all that, too.

What do you think about the mayor's first two years in office? Please fill out our poll below.
