I am seeing a growing resentment towards one very large charity which appears to be forever on the mooch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-5648867316496307822013-10-23T15:52:22.696-05:002013-10-23T15:52:22.696-05:00There is definitely what you call Lobbyist in Auro...There is definitely what you call Lobbyist in Aurora. They’re not looking for little sums of money either. Look what happened at the “Cultural” Center. And to think how Council thought it was “great value” for the community still makes me ill. It did not “improve my standard of living” or the community, but it did for a small group, with a large portion of our tax $. That incident alone determined the way I will vote in the next election.

What was ' striking ' was that lengthy list of upcoming fund-raisers and the cost of tickets. I am sure these are all marvellous events for worthy causes. But Aurorans only have so much money with which to play and pay. Much like when Councillor Ballard held his first Ranger evening.

(Some people just don't understand this concept and so yes we do have special interest groups that seem to stand outside this axiom.)<br /> <br />What if other organizations approach the Town to get space with the claim "all we're looking for is a desk and a phone"? It has to be an anomaly as to why this was approved in the 1st place.<br /><br />Everyone always has the argument because we're doing good work on behalf of the citizens, or the children of community, etc. There are lots of groups doing good work around town but they don't get special treatment and they simply have to forge on with their own efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-41880648871110814792013-10-23T13:43:07.582-05:002013-10-23T13:43:07.582-05:00Strike 2!Strike 2!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
