Who is in Charge here?	Kumar says little – but decides most
	An example? Here is a real boner

Council secrecy

In the good old days (Before Kumar) one could get the ‘council package’ Monday afternoon.

Before Kumar one could read what was going to be discussed

But some inconsiderate Citizens were voicing opinions even before Council had a chanced to offer its august views.

Now we can’t have ‘outside’ influence acting on our elected reps – no sir

The City Manger Reads and recommends

In the good old days (before Kumar) Council would go thru the correspondence item by item

On Civil Liability and “individual responsibility

Presumably the City Manager reads the correspondence; researches the topic and gives council the alternatives. Kumar found nothing amiss with the New Era attempt to re-write civil liability laws in BC. Saves the city $$ --- case closed. But no less than the Ombudsman’s office found issues to question as did the Trial lawyers of BC. A simple WWW search would have found all this. But Kumar opinions (not PR citizens) are all that counts

And it may save $$$ --- so what if a few ‘victims’ must pay.

On Liquor laws

Insurance policies and the MIA

Never got in the meeting BUT!!!

There was an item in the package where local liquor license holders – mainly the Hotels asked the City for clarification on how insurance was handled for “special occasions” presumably when city facilities used by a non profit and ‘liquor is consumed’. The correspondence was condescending as the City explained its position

But the MIA (our insurers) did not seem to agree – even non alcoholic functions seem to need their own insurance --- embarrassing you say?

Whose Idea was moving the Airport Bus to Atlin terminal anyways?

We Told you so back in 2001

Rumour at the time was that an ex-mayor ‘made it happen’ on wishes from X
