The sidewalk clearing issue seems to have struck a cord with many concerned citizens of Kearney. Another wrote in with this excellent point and a great suggestion:
"The current Council can afford to hire a full-time CBO [It was always a part-time position under previous councils], so why not let Henry Hess earn his $100,000-plus a year and get HIM to shovel the sidewalks? Or, if he's too busy wallpapering the town with tickets and bureaucratic red-tape, or running new businesses out of town, maybe Council can hire someone. They certainly act as though there's money to burn. Like the overtime they spend on town staff for weekend meetings that no cottagers ever attend. Or the money they WILL spend [again] if someone slips on ice because some little old lady's pension check couldn't cover the cost of having rock salt delivered with her groceries. A**holes."
Will Mayor Paul Tomlinson, or any of the other Proudfoot Four (Councillors Steve Sainsbury, Barry Dingwall, and Louise Wadsworth) step up and declare they were wrong? Never. Tomlinson has never admitted to being wrong about anything and in the end he'll just continue to whine about how he's "just one voice" and how it's everyone else's fault. As for the other three boot-licks? Well, we all know whose drum they march to. And, of course, Tomlinson would never have Henry Hess out shovelling snow when he could be out ticketing the crap out of the townsfolk or chasing off new business (unless they're planning to do business in Proudfoot). No sidewalks in Proudfoot...
Are you surprised?
