Sorry For The Inconvenience.

Four  political posts went to the personal blog . Yahoo  has put up a new window with different prompts . I would change it if I could.  
I don't know how it got there. I don't know how or if I can get rid of it. So I am learning to deal with it the hard way by making mistakes.
So bear with me. It can only get better.
New Post: 
Blog Is Not The Only Place in Disarray
The rule in government requiring notice of motion is there for  a reason; 
Councillors  must  have time to research for themselves a question   and be prepared  and  properly informed  to debate the issue when the question  is tabled. 
On Tuesday, the question, due notice having been given ,was tabled to have  parks vehicles in the colour green.
Since the parks department was created, vehicles have always been green.
Until this  administration decided all vehicles should be the same  and the colour should be white.
Council's opinion was not sought.
The motion noted , if vehicles needed to be the same colour ,the colour should be green.It also spelled out the change should take place gradually, as new vehicles are purchased.
There had already been some informal discussion already. It had   been stated.  it costs extra for vehicles to be green.
I had been reliably informed, it does not. 
On Tuesday, the motion was deferred.
Director of Environment and Infrastructure was asked by Councillor Thompson, if there is an extra cost. He answered,yes.
Councillor Thompson launched into argument,Council must be concerned  how we spend town resources.He would not support the motion.
Councillor Ballard was outraged by the suggestion extra be spent  . He shouted the figure would probably be $1,000. a vehicle.
No Councillor was averse to parks vehicles being  green.
So, on the one hand  we had the proponent of the motion, prepared for the debate,  informing Council there is no extra cost. 
On the other, we had a  director informing Council ,there is a cost.although he offered no specifics. 
I contributed, there are only three colours that require extra cost; red, yellow and orange. 
So the motion, already on  notice for two weeks, was deferred  for another two, to obtain correct information.
 It boils down to the question, who is telling the truth? 
Who is providing  correct information?
The person  recommending the change and  prepared to meet all arguments?  Or the staff person?
I called three dealers on Wednesday,  To confirm once again, what I already know to be true.
There is no extra cost for the dark commercial  green  traditionally used by the parks department, never  at any time known  to cost extra.
It would appear, to prove I am not  lying, I must obtain in writing, from three dealers, who regularly supply vehicles to municipalities, confirmation,  there is no extra charge for dark green vehicles.
It's an odd  circumstance. 
I  have a hard time believing it is happening.
I  most certainly do not believe it should.
