The Town is not exactly known to buy or sell wisely. It seems terms like "Market value" or "conditions" are completely foreign to whomever takes care of these transactions.

At one point there had almost been agreement about a blend of housing and park areas. just the kind of non-actives personal space the group wanted. But they could not/ would not decide so the whole parcel now has to be planned in order to give the rest of the town a bit of that expensive action.

The budget planners at National Defence and the Finance Department are in a tug-of-war as the complexity and duration of the program results in an accuracy estimate that might reach 80%.<br /><br />And we're talking billions.<br /><br />This could be another F-35 program.<br /><br />And it doesn't qualify as infrastructure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
