Rooting for failed Councillors
Dear Editor,
The ploy by City Hall City Hall to boost the chances of the old worn out City Councillors who are seeking re-election is becoming more clear and palpable. There is a rush to start up as many projects as possible around the city, many of which will not and cannot be completed after March 18, because the Council has already reached its overdraft limit with its bankers and will be given no more money, is merely to make the present sitting councilors seem to be doing something worthwhile, after twenty years of doing nothing for the capital.
Through the various media outlets one can see the Deputy Mayor and other Councillors parading past the projects that are underway giving the impression that they are responsible for the improvements. Why is the Mayor not on this clown parade? This is open campaigning and will not work to fool the voters.
The Council should have been prorogued as soon as local government elections were announced which would have prevented this vulgar and reckless display of fiscal irresponsibility. I urge voters to elect fresh, young and energetic persons as the next city mothers and fathers of Georgetown.
