" Most people don't know or don't care" I think that was a quote from Mr. Unknown since he repeats the same old so often. So really Im pretty sure that if the public were aware that most studies that were done were never completed, that the studies that were have already saved the tax payer in excess of 20 grand and that there is no proof via study the dams would ever overtop, and engineer reports were mostly done on a desktop rather than in the field, and if they cared they'd likely be okay with two or three more studies done to save a further possible 9 million dollars or so. However for some reason Victoria is allergic to due diligence and insists we fix what is not proved broken at great expense to ourselves and put the majority councillors in a no win position along with tax payers in this city.

They have their own brains and make their own decisions.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02394443058197772006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574837432999048774.post-61595435795713606582015-07-28T09:32:03.533-07:002015-07-28T09:32:03.533-07:00Most Nanaimo taxpayers agree with her.

It is becoming obvious that council and the dam committee are being manipulated by a small special interest group. This will be settled when fines are issued and jail sentences are pronounced.

I thought it was suppose to be the other way around with council telling staff what should be done!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175242673049858462noreply@blogger.com
