Council seems to be hiding behind procedure, instead of demonstrating a serious commitment to the public to provide, instantaneously if necessary in this age of technology, the very information that might have served as the basis for council's consideration of the issues on April 24.<br /><br />And we are not talking about chicken feed, rather about a potential legal undertaking that requires very specific expertise at a cost that could approach or even exceed $150,000. It seems ludicrous that councillors fall back on procedure, instead of fulfilling their sworn responsibility to those who elected them in an efficient and transparent manner.<br /><br />This entire exercise has been filled with stupidity and hypocrisy from the very beginning, and its name is Ballard.

Due to councillor Ballard's slurs, staff feel they are under attack. That is probably accurate as he has targeted at least 3 of them. Downey, Mar & the planning guy who all seem very competent.

Unfortunately I think Council has to vote to put something on the web-site. Or to take it down. I recall a council meeting with plenty of angry people demanding that the item on Evelyn be taken down. It did not happen. Instead Councillor Wilson did his paper-waving thing, declaring he had so much to do & demanded that " We move on, Council has Work to do "Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
