$1.7 Million: Too Much For A Birthday Party
SINC SAYS:
David Climenhaga has an excellent column in yesterday’s issue of the Saint City News regarding the terrible spending plans of the birthday party committee. He calls it right on the money, as does every poll taken on the spending to date running 90 percent against the committee and its budget. If council thinks they’ve done the right thing here, they had better think again. They’ve lost the votes of thousands of local taxpayers:
Even if you’re a city of 60,000 people, and even if you’ve lasted 150 years,
$1.7 million is too much for a birthday celebration.
Even if all the money isn’t going to come out of the pockets of the taxpayers of St. Albert – as indeed appears to be the case with the birthday bash planned for 2011 by the St. Albert 150th Anniversary Celebration Committee – the optics are terrible.”
Read David’s column.
Following Up On That Whale Story
Don;
in a follow up to the story you ran about the whale landing on a boat in capetown, there is a video online of the incident that has been release by CBS. They have an imbed code to put the video image on websites.
If you go to this link you can download the imbed code. I am sure they are OK with folks posting it on their blogs. Use this if you think it is of interest to others.
