In other words, “This is a done deal, why waste my time?“ They have seen this council take great satisfaction in conducting the shortest meetings on record, when in fact they know that can be just another way of saying negligence of due diligence, or that this council is rubber stamping every development proposal that comes before it. The mayor certainly indicated that they’ll hear every cockamamie two-bit economic development proposal that appears.

I applaud the regional district board for preserving the park by rejecting the BX Ranch Park sedimentation pond. They made the right decision, and for several reasons.
