You still haven't corrected the impression you shared
of the Seniors' Centre financials.
************
This must be the fourth time figures given as cost to the town of operating the Seniors Centre are challenged.
When I ask a straight question of staff and receive a straight answer, I am not inclined to challenge it.
If I know it's not true, like green trucks cost more than white to buy, I will challenge it.
When I receive an additional report offering several more equally nonfactual arguments for not buying green trucks, I will persist in the challenge.
I will not attempt subtlety. Je n'accuse pas.The evidence is on the record bearing two significant signatures.
Cameras are running, People who sent me to Council are watching The drama will be played out for their benefit, with fault lines and jagged edges to the inevitable conclusion.
We live in a time when people can see for themselves much of what transpires.
They are not dependent upon reports from the front. They are at the front.
When a staff report is challenged for accuracy by a Councillor, they see and hear the logic. .
When the challenging Councillor is undermined by other Councillors by praise lavished on staff who proferred inaccuracy as fact,they can see and hear that too.
If the implications are missed. Or need play by play analysis like Don Cherry provides hockey fans. They will get that too.
If not here, in this blog, in plain and simple terms, in Chris Watts blog in stronger terms.
There is no escape. ChrisWatts takes no prisoners.
It is the joy of my life to strip away the many and varied layers of stupidity and cupidity that permeate politics at all levels in every field.
My main focus happens to be here in Aurora.
But I digress .
Staff and maintenance of any public facility are the cost of operating the facility.
The poster above insists these costs, are additional and must be added and that I need to correct the ones I gave..
To the poster with the mantra, if you think you know something I don't, then put up or shut up.
Or future comments will go the way of the gooney bird.
Along with those I receive from the unfortunate ones who have nothing better to do with their lives but read a blog they dislike intensely and respond to it with equally intense bitchiness.

"Staff and maintenance of any public facility are the cost of operating the facility."
Yet, you always add the cost of maintenance at the Church Street School.
Speaking of "put up or shut up": I expect to see Mr Watts' name on the 2014 ballot.
Shades of Mr Water Loss. I hadn't known before that guys threw hissy-fits. The sight of the offended parties storming from the Council table was hugely entertaining . Don't suppose you ever got an apology onto the record either.
There is a track record of errors. To give credit where it is due, Councillor Gallo spotted a large duplication of expenses in the Bloomington construction paper work.
And I still don't understand the problem with the last audit. So your concern for accuracy is understandable.
"If I know it's not true, like green trucks cost more than white to buy."
This may be true, but I challenge you to prove that green trucks cost less or the same to operate than white. In the summer with the sun beating down on them, the A/C system in the trucks will use more fuel in a dark green truck than a white truck.
Did you ever think of that?

Why would you have such an expectation? Is it not a mite early? If not, then perhaps I can expect to see YOUR name on that ballot....again?
