It would be nice to know, secrets or otherwise, why we are spending $27M when $5M would have been more than enough. <br /><br />I suspect that our public works depot is going to be much more than a storage yard and place to service and repair equipment. <br /><br />And please do not spread any of that nonsense that it will not cost us a penny as we can pay with development charges and perhaps bags of money stored in the basement of town hall.<br /><br />Our blog moderator knows full well that there is only one taxpayer. Unfortunately, some of her fellow councillors are not astute enough to understand this. <br /><br />You know the old saying, " a fool and his money are soon parted". This is how I feel about this scheme.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-6879812087415036572014-09-02T15:38:27.502-05:002014-09-02T15:38:27.502-05:0014:44

If emphasizing what happened keeps us from repeating those particular mistakes then that could be a positive.<br /> I agree also that stories get re-told but I was not always around and there may be others not so familiar with the material.<br /> " Suck it up and live with it."

No matter how much you think that you can. This has nothing to do with "the former". It has nothing to do with "secrets". It is a decision that YOU dod not agree with. Now, every time that you get an opportunity, you recite the same thing and talk about how much money this deal costs the Town. Well, you were at the table, you were privy to the vote and it still happened. Suck it up and live with it. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
