I watched coverage of the council meeting last night and was dumbfounded at the conclusion of Mr. Albino's presentation to council members. Several members gushed and fawned over the wonderful, refreshing concept and plan that Mr. Albino put before them. The gushes praised the plan as an innovative approach, "thinking out of the box" and feigned innocent delight as though they had never imagined such a project.
How strange! The mayor and several other councillors had each been treated, on separate occasions, to an individual pitch about the proposal and project by Mr. Albino himself during the summer. I can attest to that. They also each lent their support to Mr. Albino before each meeting adjourned. They knew all about it and backed it long before last night's meeting. So why all the drama, pretending and acting? Why the paying lipservice to public consultation and feedback when a majority of council has already pledged support? Is that how business is done in this town? Whay wasn't one of them honest and upfront?
Mr. Albino talked about the "involvement of very important people in putting together the proposal - in fact THE most important people in Aurora"... and then he dared to ask for a handout from us, the taxpayers! How reassuring to know that "the most important people in Aurora are devising ways to spend my money when we are faced with a > 8% property tax increase!
I think not, council and Mr. Albino! Let's have you and your "very important people" cough up the money to fund your "out of the box", innovative projects.
Have you not noticed that there is a multitude of "not very important people in Aurora" who cannot afford your proposed tax increases, especially to fund such elitist projects. God knows we have been snowed enough over the infamous "culture" centre. I suggest you join the real world and represent the majority of your, ordinary, joe blow taxpayers and get your noses out of the asses of Aurora's high and mighty "most important people." Many of this town's taxpayers are hurting more than you can imagine. It's about time you listened and lent your support to THEM.
