Sherrington Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2024 4:10 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] [Letantig_internal] And the Beat Goes On Let's be clear what the amendments do: 1)They stop the current council members from sitting on the Transition Committee. Since the vast majority of the population don't trust the Laurie, Owen and their cronies, this is table stakes. This gains Tim nothing in terms of votes or trust, and he's spending EVEN MORE money on the process. 2)Even though we told them we don't trust our current Councillors to make this decision for us, they responded by saying, ok, we'll have some non-elected officials make the decision. In what what world is this better? They appear to be sticking with the idea that voters are too stupid, too poorly educated, and too emotional to vote on this, and that we should be quiet and let our betters decided for us. I was in a meeting yesterday with John Hannaford, the clerk of the Privy Council and he repeated over and over that integrity, ethics and respect for democracy were the hallmarks of good government. We've seen very little of those from the Laurie, Owen and their cronies, and Houston isn't looking much better right now. Where is the UARB going to get financial information for their study? I'm betting they'll be given a sunshine and rainbow stories from Laurie, Owen and the CAOs and will decide "the finances look good". This study is meaningless eyewash as far as I can tell. Thane K.
