As many of you know, WFP has been fighting to get missing signage
replaced on Victoria Street. The signs were taken down
during the Big Dig since traffic was re-routed down
Veterans/Diagaonal Road. Over 1/2 a dozen requests were made
to councillor Bernie Bailey to have the signs replaced. Each
time it was mentioned to Mr. Bailey, he would say he would try to
remember this time and take action. This continuing failure of
Mr. Bailey led to the WFP increasing scrutiny and rhetoric, in an
attempt to get Bailey to act on this Public safety issue. It
also took repeated badgering to get Mr. Bailey to request financial
data regarding the Howson Dam fund. When he finally did
capitualte, all it took was for him to spend a couple seconds
emailing town hall. Even the simplest of tasks seemed over
burdensome to this man, even though was paid about $1,000 a month to
Represent the People. Getting the North Huron calendar updated
also turned out to be a futile task, as monthly requests/demands
were required to achieve this tiny baby step toward transparency.
These signs were our Democracy Experiment”
