Under Municipal Blogs/Web Sites I have placed the link to the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass.
For financial information go to Finance and Systems. Under there you will fing the 2007 audited statement.

Thanks for this Dean.
Btw/ Have just read your letter to the editor the other side of the story in this week’s Promoter. I must say, I was impressed! I especially liked .... The root of more conspiracy theories than when JFK was shot. :-) :-)
Meanwhile, I have this to say about item #6 Find out why council always votes 4-3 on controversial/major issues.
Years back when I was on council, for most of my 3 year term the vote went 4-3 on ‘most issues’ that came before us. During that time, I too did not hear any of the public outcry I have now been hearing for the past few months (from certain quarters) over this ‘one issue’, with respect to similar voting patterns on the Crowsnest Centre.
These great defenders of democracy (including the ones we have been hearing from in their letters to the editor) were silent back then. Were they deaf, blind and stupid, or just plain ‘hypocrites’ now that the shoe is on the other foot?
You Dean have made it known before on several occasions that the 4-3 voting pattern that has been taking place has been ‘primarily’ with respect to the Centre issue. I know that the four of you on council are acting out of conviction on the Center issue, and should be congratulated for doing so… not condemned! Kudos to you guys for having the courage of your convictions, and the intestinal fortitude to stand up against the bullies and want-to-be’s and their on-going, never-ending ‘smear campaigns’ that are accomplishing nothing more than hurting this community, and dividing it. These people have acted like spoiled children who have had their own way for far too long. As a result, they just will not let go without the disciplinary action of a good spanking.
Consider yourselves spanked… and let it go!
Wow John. Summed up my thoughts almost entirely. I'm sick of the bullying going on in this community in regards to some of the issues. I remember the last Council and how often it was 4-3 - but my how their opinion on that changes when they're not getting their way. It's annoying, childish, and I think I speak on behalf of the majority of those in this town when I say we're all sick of that crap. It's not needed and it's time to grow up.
And Dean, as John said, Kudos to you for your letter. You have a lot of supporters in this town. Keep it up.
