Re: Letter to the editor by Wayne Robinson, Sept. 8, 2016.
I am in agreement with Mr. Robinson that the mayor and council care about our community. I also agree they deserve respect, the same respect that we all deserve. However, in my opinion, the problem with the schools still remains. As Mr. Robinson points out in his letter, “We elected these members to council with the intention that they will consider issues in the community and make intelligent, well-informed decisions. I trust the Mayor and her council did exactly that concerning the school properties that they chose to purchase on our behalf for the long-term benefit of this community.”
Please Mr. Robinson tell me how this was a well informed decision when: 1) by the mayor’s own admission they did not read the information package for potential purchasers provided by the Limestone District School Board about said properties, and 2) again by the mayor’s admission they did not seek advice from their chief building official prior to purchasing yet waited for his opinion until after the fact when it was very quickly decided Sharbot Lake would have to be torn down. (Possibly Parham as well; I guess we are still waiting for that decision). What am I missing? I have other remaining questions as well but the above two really require clarification.
