How do we go about running Eric Allen for mayor?
Why, when we have taxpayers like Eric, does this city council find it necessary to hire so-called "experts" who in turn make recommendations which prove to be very costly and ill-advised.
One point he makes is one never mentioned when the discussion about the need for a new police station was initially raised. Why was a municipal building with regular, unionized maintenance workers in daily attendance reduced to such a state of decay the building that, less than 50 years old, it had to be levelled?
Now the Aquatic Centre of 20 years requires roof replacement? Who chose that roofing material? Why are funds not regularly set aside for routine upkeep/maintenance on an ongoing basis just as we do for our houses?
The Four Seasons Pool is now considered obsolete with failing concrete. Why hasn't it been kept up? Could it be for the same reason that the interior windows and ceiling are dirty and stained from one year to the next even after being closed for quasi maintenance every year?
Eric Allen, thank you for your considered, clear thinking in the face of the reckless decisions currently being made by both our municipal administrators.
