To the editor:
Having tactfully avoided criticism of the city council, for my own reasons, I feel it’s time to break with precedence for a second time.
I know it’s summer, and who the hell wants to listen to my mumbling or read city council minutes for that matter? But two items put on the agenda at council meeting were sort of bizarre.
The pathetic attempt to reduce council by two councillors was a little conspicuous. The issue died thankfully, when it was learned that Mr. Fenske can’t wave a magic wand and change provincial legislation pertaining to our city.
The second item, that seems to be coming up all too frequently, are the “character assassinations” of both Mr. Matechuk and Mr. Wong.
Most people, especially with Thompson’s downturn, appreciate any council member who scrutinizes the spending of our tax dollars. So why put so much pressure on our “whistle blowers?”
Hopefully both councillors will return to office in the fall of 2018; maybe even one as our new mayor.
Sincerely,
Angus Campbell Sr.
