An Aspect of The Story

Is yours to know but  first right is not mine to tell. As soon as I have permission I will .I'm not trying  to be coy. It would probably have been more discreet  to say nothing It would be better still if there was no story to tell.

I have only seen The Auroran on Line. It's  bursting with strongly- worded letters to the editor. With two weeks to go to the election, that's phenomenal.

There will still be naysayers who  sit back and declare it doesn't matter what we do at the municipal level.

I think this time, they are going to have a harder time to stay disengaged.

I think it will not just be about a new council taking hold of the reins. I think it will be  the entire community taking back their town.

Do I think it will make a difference ? I sure do.

Do I think we can reduce taxes ? Look at  the spending you know that produced nothing of any benefit. It  represents hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted.

Do you think you will  be better informed by watching Council meetings? Imagine if the Town's business takes precedence,  debate is orderly, to the point and decisions are made and Council meetings end within the allotted time.  Think of man hours saved.

Can  we have Rogers Cameras installed in the Council Chamber?  We  should take them up on their offer.It won't cost us one thin dime.

Can  Council meetings and committee meetings be streamed on utube. We could have been doing it for the last four years.It's insane not to.

Can we cut down  on heating ,cooling  and the carbon  footprint of the town hall? We sure can. Just by closing those damned doors and keeping the heat in in the winter and out in the summer and stopping the HVAC plant from working overtime to accomplish the impossible.

Can we cut down on consultants?  By using  technology to keep people informed and obtain  input from them directly, we can do better than consultants.

Can we cut down on paper? Oh My Lord yes. In a hundred different ways we can save paper and  the power to print it,collate it, shred it and consign it to waste. A truck comes to the town hall to shred paper.It's a contract.

Did I say  revolution...I mean  renaissance...  a  way of looking hard at everything and  really seeing  what we are looking at.

Waste of resources. Waste of energy. Waste of time. Waste of opportunity.Waste of ideas. Waste of good will. . Waste of old-fashioned common sense and thrift that comes from necessity.Waste of lessons hard learned. Waste of our children's future. Waste of ingenuity.

Waste of the best that' s in us.

Wha's like us.  De'il the yin   We can chart the course.
