Excuse me, but you are not yet an MPP or MP

[Bill(2)]

It was interesting trying to following the morion put forth by Councillors Gerretsen and Hutchingson last night. Interesting comments, accusing the effective government of the day of operating in secret, set in my mind a very bad tone for the discussion.

As Mayor Rosen pointed out, all of Council is the government. There is no Loyal Opposition and Government side. It makes me wonder if the motion was drafted by Queens Park staffers (or wannabe staffers). C'mon guys, assume an attitude appropriate for your status.

Again, Bill, you criticize the very councilors who won't HIDE DETAILS. These councilors are not trying to MICRO MANAGE anything. They are being RESPONSIBLE to the people who ELECTED THEM.

Had the three stooges, Leonore, Ed and Harvey, actually told the truth before elections, I wonder if they would be there now.

Refreshing to know that these new councilors are taking the time to UNDERSTAND THE COSTS of things BEFORE signing this city to bankruptcy.

Refreshing to know that these new councilors are taking the time to WORK WITH STAFF instead of using them as scapegoats for failures and cost overages.

I wonder if in your business, you would allow others to hide important facts that affect YOUR BOTTOM line and not tell you about it.

The staffers have never been at fault. THE FAULT LIES WITH THE PREVIOUS COUNCILORS ONLY.
