When you drive past Sentinel you see that god awful mess. Then you pull in to Blairmore and see all that crap across from the Mall.<br />You wonder why people live in the Elk Valley I do not know of any where over there that you have those kind of crap piles. Do not worry about bringing the Pass into the 21st century think about the <br />20th first. <br /><br />DerekAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-72429578810760464162011-12-02T15:15:42.019-07:002011-12-02T15:15:42.019-07:00And to Mike L.

Blairmore has everything that you need, usually within walking distance. We just need to put more pressure on the council. We are not unique in this regard I don't think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-55449881826289813562011-12-02T15:11:36.198-07:002011-12-02T15:11:36.198-07:00I totally agree with the above comment about getti...I totally agree with the above comment about getting into the 21st century. They are like dinosaurs down here. No change wanted. All you have to do is look at the empty buildings and you can see that council is definitely not getting it. A year is a long time -something could be done if they had initiative. Meanwhile, the businesses that ARE here should perhaps make more of an effort to be engaging. Unbelieveable the attitude of most of the service people. Some of good, but I bet 90% are AWFUL, ..um crabby lets say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-64294278262945630722011-12-01T12:15:49.511-07:002011-12-01T12:15:49.511-07:00Thats why you guys have nothing down there in the ...Thats why you guys have nothing down there in the Crowsnest. You should bend over backwards to help these investors get this thing going. Bring new people (plus new 21st century thinking replacing the hick mentality) in to your community. <br />Plus increase the tax base.<br /><br />Mike LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-42413798580244624892011-12-01T10:31:34.017-07:002011-12-01T10:31:34.017-07:00I would not have a problem giving these guys some ...I would not have a problem giving these guys some sort of break on their back taxes if they came in and built 300 homes in the next three years.

Or is he going against councils wishs?<br /><br />Why have boards? just send these issues to council let them make a decision, woops two council members were there.<br /><br />Two councilors sat on that board and supported that application what is their position today?<br />Will they stand with the rest of the sub division board and support there decision in front of the appeal board?<br /><br />Maybe they need a policy put in place to deal with this issue?<br /><br />LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-5971368431234615532011-11-30T16:07:42.683-07:002011-11-30T16:07:42.683-07:00Dean, below is a link to a post I did recently tha...Dean, below is a link to a post I did recently that I should have included in my last comment above, about council's latest 'brainwave' idea on increasing the late payment fee on property taxes from 20% to a 'criminal' 50%...<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.johnprince.ca/2011/11/mr-mayor-50-of-nothing-is-still-nothing.html" rel="nofollow">Mr. Mayor, 50% of nothing is still nothing</a> <br /><br />JPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-73225268777014277312011-11-30T15:49:04.252-07:002011-11-30T15:49:04.252-07:00So far all this council has done is take, take, ta...So far all this council has done is take, take, take with more talk of taking even more. They have done nothing in the way of attracting new business to this community either directly or indirectly. The Promoter's recent poll suggests their recent town hall meeting was a flop, which suggests they either do not have the pulse of the community, or they cannot communicate a message of hope that the people can believe in? Maybe its because, as I have already stated, all they do is take, take, take while giving us back little to nothing.<br /><br />If they go through with this Bylaw to increase tax arrears to a usury and criminal 50%, they will have a revolt on their hands come next election that they will regret. Now that is something they can take to the bank!<br /><br />JPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
