Even at the very last meeting of Council, instead of looking forward, he spent time looking backwards at LEGACY ISSUES from all the previous incompetent councils.<br /><br />One trick pony.<br /><br />He sure is leaving big legacy issues himself. You can't go forward if your head is always looking back.

I'm sure Dean is staying up nights worrying about that.<br /><br />:^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-27070678310285286632013-10-19T00:14:55.849-06:002013-10-19T00:14:55.849-06:00Over the years, the Municipal Government Board has...Over the years, the Municipal Government Board has established precedents and principles about annexation, such as it should be for logical growth and not just a tax grab. Unless they toss all this out, Bruce's plan would not qualify.<br /><br />So Doug Griffiths put the "Viability Study" into the Inspector's Report to enable annexation without going through the MGB.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-70393478050276833852013-10-18T20:01:27.361-06:002013-10-18T20:01:27.361-06:00Dean for goodness sake quit clouding the issue wit...Dean for goodness sake quit clouding the issue with facts. !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-79105445751576527182013-10-18T18:56:14.725-06:002013-10-18T18:56:14.725-06:00Alex,

Strongly believe the dissolution issue was a gift for this council to scare the voters. What's the old saying "the best way to predict the future is to look at the past" . What ever happens Monday Dean I appreciate all the time you have put into this blog over the last three years. Especially the research such as what you presented here on the issue of dissolution. <br /><br />Thanks AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170383155508070340.post-15350050851934720902013-10-18T16:53:32.719-06:002013-10-18T16:53:32.719-06:00Dean its all about self preservation.

In the same breath they uttered this nonsense, they said our municipality is on a solid financial footing because of our low debt load.<br /><br />We have very low debt load because of how our previous councils have behaved, and not because of anything the current council has done. <br /><br />If anything, our present council, if given chance, would use our good financial position to borrow more money. If they are given a chance, we may have to, in four years, reexamine this whole question.<br /><br />Right now, it is a "red herring" thrown by one bureaucrat to another bureaucrat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
