Dear Editor,
So the usual council majority (the mayor and Councillors Fast, Mason and Nicholson) has passed the bylaw prohibiting docks at Cape Roger Curtis. This is in spite of the fact that it is a majority only because of the mayor’s tiny margin of victory in the last election. It is is also in spite of the fact that the council received substantially more public comments objecting to the bylaw than supporting it (121 versus 102). One might have thought that these two facts would have inspired in the council majority a degree of ideological moderation, a willingness to work out reasonable compromises, and perhaps even a shred or two of humility.
No blipping way. Not this obsessed, militant council majority.
