  Motto for City Hall / Council??

‘Not in Service’ you say?

 

On left are property tax exemptions --- I will argue over next few days that much of this is ‘special interest’ group running City hall while the rest of us pay for it

Excerpt

 

Youth and Vandalism being ‘taken care of’ by a committee meeting of stake holders (more later)

The above are from 2009 Council priorities

I would suggest some of these are more pressing than others –Thus once the city ‘repaired’ the cells at Police station as done in 2008 --- the concept of a new building vs repairing the old ones has been ‘decided’ at least for next decade

 

We See--

Derelict cars in PR

When Port Clements reported at recent SQCRD meeting that had 112 derelicts and needed to deal with them --- Mayor Jack Mussallem offered to give advice as presumably Rupert did not have derelict problem --- here are 10 in a matter of a few blocks (see my previous with links to 2007)

 

Boulevards as free property

Here is a good example where street suddenly narrows --- and all those beyond dotted line have taken the City property as their own ---- I suggest that this should some how be taxed if someone has ‘expropriated’ City property (OUR property) then they should pay for that ‘exclusive use’

 

While the Bee image did not come through well

It is the fading time of flowers in bloom --- already the kids are snacking on early salmonberries --- More later

 

 

Page from 2007 that had theme of both derelicts and Boulevards

 

And here is one seeing boulevards as a ‘social construct’

More on Annual Report during the next week
