DON QUIXOTE VS. CITY HALL When an American gets mad, he says "where's my Gun". When a Canadian gets pissed off he says "Where is my pen, I'm going to send a letter to the EDITOR". When the EDITOR won't publish his letter he sets up his own BLOG page.
When I received enough support to get a Council Seat the dogma of the establishment became : "Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." (Only time will tell !)
This is good news, what council were trying to do is wrong. To my thinking borowing all the money to build anything is wrong. I think all tax money over what is used to fill potholes and just the most necesary things. Then all the rest should be used to pay off all existing debt. From then on if you don't have the money you don't need it. If there is not interest to pay your cost is very much less. To top it off we do not need a new library, who uses the present library ? My Co. pays around 3,500.00 a year in taxes toward the present library and not any of our family or our employees have have ever been in it. With Google and Internet a library is obsolete as a dinosar.It would be just another hole to throw money into.Borrow 20M then the over run likely another 20M and interest over many years will double it again.Our great grandkids will still be saddled with it. We elect councils to run the day to day city business not to go into the property development business for which they are not qualified. AMS
