Short Sighted?
These are the ppl who runs our town. These are the ppl whom we depend on to make this town a better place not only for us .. but for our future generation. Looking very prosperous .. might I add .. some may need some diet pills really soon, if they continue to not do anything but sit and look nice. Last year the ppl of this town took a stand.. and voted against quite a number of old town councilors in hope for a better future.. in hope of better leadership. In hope of better accountability, in hope of transparency .. in hope of some good heads on the shoulder of ppl whom we can look up to. In hope of a voice for us.. and not for themselves or their cronies.
6 months into the new councilors and a new mayor, we in my humble opinion has a invisible mayor.. who never even acknowledged me when i passed him on the street .. during Christmas last year. Most of them.. i haven’t seen, except for the deputy mayor and Ken Langille who had answered a few emails.. from the spouse.
Have we elected the wrong team to represent us..?? sure we know that changes takes time.. and it cannot be done overnite.. but what had they done so far..?? except to have taken a trip that cost the tax payer’s money of ONLY $15k .. and i heard one even brought his son for the trip.. supposedly for some convention with the federal ppl..?? they are back.. but are they gonna give us an accountability report..?? i’ve yet to see any of it.. in the last 10 yrs of my stay in this town. And it looks like I’m not the only one who ain’t too, too happy about the new councilors.
A group of citizens confronted Yarmouth Town Council last evening with angry words. They’re upset over a proposal for the residential development of the Milton school property. Spokesperson Susan Hood presented council with a 1267 name petition, demanding the peoperty be developed as a recreational park. The group accused council of being short sighted in dictating its will against the wishes of the community. Councillor Ken Langille said he was offended by the tone of the message. Residents argued the Milton school property has served as a playground since 1864. Council has agreed to call a public meeting on the issue next month.
