Also from the June 15th council meeting:
The fictional "Ethical Wealth Corporation" (aka Proudfooter Tim Brown) is seeking a minor variance less than a year after obtaining rezoning. The resolution to support the variance was moved by Councillor Steve Sainsbury and seconded by Councillor Barry Dingwall. Brown was Sainsbury's and Dingwall's campaign manager in the last election but, once again, neither councillor declared a conflict of interest.
However, because of environmental concerns expressed by the public at the meeting, Mayor Tomlinson was forced to defer the application. So much for ramming that one through, eh boys? And what’s with Town Planner Linda Moyer, who seemed more determined to support the application than Mr. Brown’s lackey Scott Richards.
And...
Mr. Cameron Wadsworth, husband of Deputy Mayor Louise Wadsworth, and close friend of Councillor Sainsbury, was appointed to the Environmental and By-Law Advisory Committee. Wadsworth and Sainsbury did not declare a conflict and participated in the vote to accept. We guess a little more nepotism won’t hurt a town that's being killed off anyway. But don't be surprised if Tim Brown's environmental concerns suddenly go away.
Are you surprised? ...at all?
