Will Politicians honour their committments? You be the Judge
"No Property Tax Increases The high property taxes in Crowsnest Pass are crippling the community. It hurts our families, it drives away business, and it discourages investment in our town"
"As a councilor, I will not vote for any increase to property taxes for any reason - period! It is time to take a hard look at the services we have and the way business is conducted by the municipality. We must set realistic boundaries and be firm about not crossing them. There is money out there, we just have to stop wasting what we have and start tapping into sources we have ignored. As a businessman, I believe very strongly in efficiency. When I discover that my business is doing something that is unnecessarily costing us money, I do not wait a year or two to start investigating it - I put the people or plans in place to solve it right away. The municipal council needs to have that same commitment and drive; it is our duty to the taxpayers of our town. Once we have learned to be more diligent, we should then go further and reduce our property taxes."

Strange they didn't inform the employees prior to telling the public.
What happened to building the relationship between the dream team and the people that make it happen on a daily basis!
You really think its that straight forward? Well first of all Mr. Robert Schulz accepted the position of Manager of Operational Services. Myron Thompson was the Director of Operations. Pretty straight forward right? Well look at the titles, administration was seeking a Public Works Foreman prior to Mr Tully leaving. Mr Schulz was not named a department head he is one step above being a Leadhand. It gets even better we were told three weeks ago that another individual was taking the position commencing on Oct 17, he failed to show up. So I guess they went with there second choice. Then we get told that we are having a big luncheon next Wednesday to fill us in on all the organizational changes prior to the public meeting. Wednesday morning I find out that the world was told we have a new CAO a week prior to the luncheon. Why waste our time.

So it took nine months to find this new CAO. All they had to do was look downstairs in the Public Works Department.
Can't wait to be swimming in our new Indoor Pool.

Tully Clifford left in June, Matt. By my calculations that means five months, not nine.
I stand corrected so it took five months to go down stairs.

Matt your reply is hilarious and sad but true--- only in the CrowsnestPass
considering they announced filling his old position over a week ago this isn't much of a surprise.

Which position are you referring to?
I totally agree with Peter's comment. :-)
