Yes, once again, a bad blogger… but anyhoo…
As I was banging out my brief package from Monday night’s council meeting, I happened to read over the staff discussion on the ‘naming policy’, and this little tidbit jumped out at me:
Nominations of past/current employees for the Town of Collingwood shall be considered in recognition of his/her exceptional service unrelated to and outside of his/her job responsibilities, capacity and duties as a former/current Town employee, unless otherwise determined by Council. Names of living persons shall only be considered in extenuating circumstances.
Bwahahaha… I can only assume certain staffers at town hall actually pay attention to my drivel…

I watched the public meeting for Admiral Collingwood Place tonight. Shame on those who spoke and showed such little respect for Council and staff. To suggest that there is corruption between elected officials and the developer is an egregious accusation. That woman should have been shown the door immediately. To suggest that their petition signed by fewer than 230 people had any effect on council was simply absurd. Carrier and his pals ignored a petition signed by over 2000. To suggest that the public didn’t vote for 6 stories is just silly. Admiral Collingwood was one of the election issues and on web sites, on TV, at debates, in newspapers, on the radio and at my door most of them constantly endorsed 6 stories. I would say that Sandra and Rick won by huge margins over their competition.
The word of the night…….SPIN. Let’s just spin the truth to make a point.
