What next oppressive act can we expect from City Hall?

Dec 24, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
Walking along the pavement on Regent Street a few days ago, I observed the Town Clerk of Georgetown and a gentleman standing next to one of the notorious parking meters that seemed to be gift wrapped and tied with a ribbon which made a large bow. I heard someone hailing out to them from the road way enquiring whether this was the City’s present to the citizens for the Christmas. I chuckled to myself, but then I thought seriously that I was witnessing a bully nonchalantly inaugurating a tool of oppression against the hapless citizens and visitors to Georgetown. How sad!
And then as a candy coating, I learnt a little later that they were giving us this huge concession of not charging us until next year! Now really? Do they really take us for fools? They are now rolling out the system, which will not be completed until next year, so they are not doing us any favours. It is just not practical to begin charging as yet until everything is set up, tested and in place.
What other draconian initiatives could we look forward to from City Hall next year? Increased rates and taxes? More trips overseas? More friends and family being hired? More graft and corruption?
