Here we go again, on one hand money is being wasted again on a survey for smoking and the ridiculous suggestion that more enforcement people may need to be hired. Then council is crying the blues over capital funding and wanting to throw that burden on the taxpayer again.
The idea that council and current mayor will ever get a grip on reality on how to responsibly spend tax dollars and keep St. Albert an affordable place to live property tax-wise is as real as a rainbow-farting unicorn notion.
The 10-year plan ... umm does council and mayor think they will still be in office for the next 10 years?
How about you sell the yellow asparageese, stop funding art projects that make no sense and concentrate on what the needs are. Decent roads, affordable recycling rates, actually making traffic light improvements as we were told last fall would be happening and looks like an epic fail, less staff at city hall not more.
City hall isn’t your palace, the taxpayers are not your minions and you have the responsibility of spending tax dollars appropriately for all the taxpayers, not just special interest wants.
The constant raising of taxes in this city is absurd and until mayor and council can act responsibly with their spending, there should be no tax increases.
