Last May you will recall council voted to remove and replace both of these dams, without any plans in place to accomplish what they voted to do. Remember? They then took the unbelievable step of trying to get a preemptive injunction against citizens who might oppose the removal of these structures. Remember?
Turns out this was another poor decision of this city council which has cost Nanaimo taxpayers untold hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. It also demonstrates some pretty high handed decisions, made under the direction of city staff which should likely have raised far more alarm bells than they did.
Remove both dams without a plan in place to replace them? $50,000 or so on legal fees to file an injunction against John and Jane Doe to stop any civil action against dam removal.
Turns out, that whole premise for that complete waste of tax dollars was a work of fantasy. The dams are not in jeopardy of a catastrophic failure due to a phantom seismic event. Now our only real concern is another Noah's flood.
Really? Do different levels of government have nothing better to do, than try and figure out how to set fire to piles of taxpayers' cash?
