If anyone caught the Council meeting tonight, there was a perfect example of how our Council remains utterly dysfunctional and ineffective. I caught it part-way through, but apparently there was an item where staff were asking them for approval to proceed on a detailed plan for the new library, including funding options. What I saw was a free-for-all, including Gloria McCluskey saying the new library should be in Dartmouth, Andrew Younger wanting the facade of the existing library building used on the new, David Hendsbee wanting a detailed parking strategy for the area, various members wanting a firm cost number RIGHT NOW, and all sorts of thr usual parochial bullshit that had nothing to do with the question on the floor. Meanwhile, our esteemed mayor just let it all happen. Ridiculous.
Can we have a do-over on the election?
