As I write this I don't know the answer
Tonight Council will be approving a siteplan for the fountain/rink, it will pass because they have the votes to enable passage. But the saga will continue, even though three delegations will speak tonight, because the tenders have yet be voted on. I don't know the end result of this issue but you can bet it will be dragged on and on by the angry spurned opposition. Perhaps that is the strategy to drag it out until the financial deadline expires. In the meantime the only suspense is watching "I used to be the Deputy Mayor but now am only a councillor, but I wore the chain of office a couple of times" Bob Spooner trying to weasel out of the deal by threatening to vote against it if the tenders come in over $1.4.
As an aside I see the local paper printed a letter expressing maximum encouragement to the Mayor for sticking to his guns and position. Pity the fellow who wrote it lives in Hamilton Township - Keep out of it Mr Houston.

Come on, Ben! Give Huston a break. It was sarcasm. He was trying to be funny. I actually thought it worked. Things are so sad at Cobourg council, let's at least try to laugh a little in the face of complete failure of politicians to remember the "D-word". You remember that one: democracy.
I'll have to reread the letter, perhaps it wasn't as obvious to me, but you know what they say when pols are ridiculed and laughed at? _ They are toast!!
Yup just reread it and now I am betwixt the scintillating sarcasm or the rabid sycphantism of the author. I just don't know, what I do know is any more of these letters and criticism and nobody will want to be on the Council and put with this crap - who needs it?
