Personally I hear nothing but good things coming from residents about what this council is doing. I like seeing this young man going straight to the top of CN and fighting for this community, something that clearly his constituents want him to do. That’s his job, to listen and respond to what the community wants. Clearly it’s being well received.<br /><br />I don’t know about you, but I elect people to do a job. I don’t need or want to be involved in every decision that is made or what types of arrangements are being sorted out behind the scenes. No, not every decision should be made in public.<br /><br />What I do like to see is the mill being torn down. Don’t remember the last council to crack that nut.<br /><br />I like seeing our water supply being upgraded, contrary to the previous commenter who says they aren’t focusing on the big infrastructure problems.<br /><br />Downtown is looking fantastic. I like seeing the rally call for the park, and contrary to the first commenter I find all the Re: initiatives sparking life back into our once sleepy town. I see results and that makes me proud to live here.<br /><br />Being critical is a great thing, but I think there's a difference between being critical and consistently finding fault with all decisions being made, I believe that's called being biased. <br /><br />Jason S.Jason Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-5827322489646677872017-06-05T12:13:17.018-07:002017-06-05T12:13:17.018-07:00Lol at the previous comments.

Starting your crusade against CN two weeks before the events are slated to occur is hilarious, and the outrage even more so. The city should have worked in October to address the situation. However for all I know they were trying to do this, and CN was at an impasse. hopefully for 2018 we'll have a better plan to address the thing.<br /><br />As for the "haters club," well I know a lot of former rupertites (myself included!) are concerned with the direction that the city is going under the current council's leadership. As it turns out, there are also many in Rupert who feel the same way. I actually really like some of the council's initiatives, such as the McKay Street Park, and the various plans to redevelop rundown space in the city, however I find myself at odds with the smoke and mirrors around council meetings/watson island, and the fact we're not putting a focus on the infrastructure in the city which is crumbling at a disconcerting rate. While I admit this blog is critical of the city government, there's nothing wrong with a critical tone when it comes to your government, as long as you contrast it with the other side and decide for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-14356220360948282132017-06-05T11:57:57.812-07:002017-06-05T11:57:57.812-07:00Can't exactly see your point here, it's a ...Can't exactly see your point here, it's a simple account of the facts as relayed by the Mayor.
