No resolution from Council Monday

Despite being told on Monday last that Council will pass a motion reflecting its position on the hospital cuts to service this Monday, it will not happen. When queried about the lack of a resolution on the agenda, for Monday, the BurdReport was told that because Council will listen to Mr Tony Farren, a member of the "Citizens for Alternative Solutions", who is speaking on Monday evening, and that they also want to hear Mr Biron tell the public what he's telling selected invitees in private, Council will be making a resolution some time in the future after they hear everybody.

So thanks to all the people who had planned to be at the meeting on Monday to support the resolution, but keep your powder dry until the time is announced.

This stall certainly helps the Council members who are uncomfortable with having to make a decision on this. It was obvious from the Mayor's body language during the last presentation that he would have rather been elsewhere that night. Let's see what kind of gushing orgasmic welcome he gives to Tony Farren who represents the people that the Mayor is most familiar with - Rotarians and the cocktail set.

That brings us to another point now being raised by segments of the poulation - the non-support of the issue because some people don't like the messenger. Well folks the question is is simple - "do you want to have community services delivered by a community hospital?" because if you do just sign the bloody petition and don't bellyache about the people who are asking you to sign it!

I rise on a point of order, Mr. Burd. Perhaps you can clarify.

Watching Town Council on Cable 10, I know I heard the deputy mayor make a motion that the issue be brought back to council next week. That motion was seconded and passed.

Do they not have to honour their own motion? They can't just pretend it didn't happen can they?

What the hell?
