I left out the biggie off the list of space used by various volunteer organizations.
Church Street School has been leased rent free to a Board without accountability.
They have closed door meetings.
Not only that, the town pays for all maintenance and utility costs. $150,000/
Not only that ,the town provides funding to the board that increases each year. Four years ago, it started out at $343,000 a year. Last year it was pretty close to $400,000.
Any revenue earned stays in the pot. Programs with charge are advertised as "Free"
Aurora has always nurtured culture for what it adds to life's enjoyment but alsofor a practical purpose.
A firm seeking to re-locate hopes to transfer key executives.
Quality of living for families is an all- important consideration.
Supercilious , disrespectful,condescending, sly.sneaky, two faced , manipulation to steal the museum from its rightful occupant, double dealing in the extreme.
Contribution to an attractive image-----nil.
Foisting a new burden on hard-pressed taxpayers without as much as a by-your-leave and without consultation
did little to generate trust or well being.
The real irony -------there was always room and support for heritage and culture but something more had to be insinuated.
A town's population is fluid. New residents arrive and others leave.
I will tell the story again as long as there are new listeners.
If the straight goods in politics are preferred, people need to know what the other stuff looks like.

You go, girl !
The bloom on the rose of the Centre appears to be fading. There are so many marvellous places within easy driving distance where you don't encounter the same old faces. I eagerly await their next report since the new head said he was going to look at reducing their dependance on town money.
Sorry, 20:01, your wishful thinking is way off - the place is going from strength to strength.
"I will tell the story again as long as there are new listeners."
Or more likely "I will tell the story again as long as there are weak minded minions that will listen again, and again, and again.
It will be interesting to see their presentation. Councillor Ballard told council that they were ready to launch a big fund-raiser after the last go-around.
@8:26
Please tell me it is not again time to go through that ?

Now who's drinking that Kool Aid ?
The story that keeps getting repeated here is merely one person's biased interpretation of events.
It didn't much matter before, and it matters not at all now.
A new Ipsos Reid Poll shows more than half of Canadians are following the Senate Turmoil closely.
They have got that one right.
Senator Duffy's statement is incredible.
Councillor, you keep going over a battle waged and lost. Think of it as a sort of local Culloden.
13:59
And you are such a sycophant.
14:17, did they fight at Culloden?
