We have three lawyers trying to save Moccasin Flats. As far as I know, the property is owned by the city and these people are squatters.
Now the big question is who is paying the legal fees as the people living there have no money?
Again I remind you all, we have people coming here with active drug addiction, no records , no application requirements, expecting food and housing.
How much is it costing the city for a lawyer to have to fight this problem that should never have been allowed?
Unless it’s legal aid lawyers or the lawyers are working pro bono, the taxpayers are on the hook.
We are in hard times - food is going up and the cost of housing keeps going up and people are dying from COVID-19.
People have to face funeral costs they were not expecting.
I cannot believe how much news coverage and money is being spent on a few squatters.
I would like to see my tax dollars going in the direction of the working poor and the seniors.
I am so sad the way our downtown has deteriorated. We have lost the Northern Hardware and now the bakery on George Street. The Citizen did no coverage on the bakery closing. Why?
