Did you know that while the Proudfoot bunch are cutting jobs, draining Reserves, and taking out loans, they're not just giving themselves pay raises.
In the 2013 Draft Budget there's $3000 of taxpayer money allocated for repairing a privately owned dock in Proudfoot. One of the Proudfooters who use the dock is a friend of Louise Wadsworth and made the request to the Town. Wadsworth was more than happy to show that she can do favours for her friends just as aptly as Tomlinson, Sainsbury, and Dingwall.
Meanwhile, there are several public docks and boat ramps in Kearney that are dangerously in need of repair.
Wadsworth has been trying to tell critics that the dock in question is also a public dock because "it's on town property". Nice try, Louise, but there are scores of other private docks that have been built on a town-owned shore-road allowances. Just because a property owner builds a dock on public land doesn't make it a public dock. Or can all those other property owners now expect the same kind of funding your buddy got?
Duh... What?
Friends of the Proudfoot Four: Build a dock on town land and get town funding for your repairs.
Everyone else: Rebuild a fence that's been on town land for the last 60 years and be ordered to tear it down or pay a lease.
Are you surprised?
