ReplyDeleteWhat seems to be lacking on all of the staff work is accountability. Without accountability it is very hard to measure performance.
It's easy to forget after years of minimalist public meetings, but the people who are really accountable to the public are the mayor and council.
ReplyDeleteOne of the problems with Prince Rupert is lack of participation from the residents of the city. Low voter turnout and few new candidates running leaves us with more of the same.
DeleteThe amount of municipal news from the local paper is sad. Many are not aware this blog exists. Council seems to think their re-election is their mandate to carry on with the “Vision” that isn’t.
Actually, I do pretty good for readership all things considered, but thanks for the mention.
DeleteAs you note, there is clearly a lot of apathy in town though towards civic and provincial themes, which is unfortunate. NCR
Yes I believe your readership is up. I still run into people that are not aware of your blog and point them to your blog. It is to bad the council notes aren’t as complete. Maybe they could put a link to your blog in their notes.
DeleteJust an idea!
LOL, I have a feeling that's a bird that ain't gonna fly down at City Hall ... but thanks for the suggestion and for pointing folks towards it. We'll just have to hope for the Prince Rupert telegraph to weave its magic .... NCR
DeleteGet ready for a healthy dose of extremes Prince Rupert.
ReplyDeleteVision 2030 was the high-end philosophy of what council wanted residents to believe in.
The AM policy is a low-down data driven methodology that should allow City Hall to better execute against that Vision 2030.
