At the fire service meeting, someone suggested that a referendum be held, on whether or not to proceed with the new fire halls, and if the mass majority were opposed, then council should resign. This was met with thunderous applause, and a few whistles. While this may seem extreme to some, it is not. If it can be proven that a council has not been representing the constituents they are paid to represent, shouldn’t that be cause for their dismissal? As we have stated many times in the past, council’s duty is to execute the will of the people, in a timely and cost effective manner.

When council tried to eliminate Press and Public Gallery questions at council meetings, Democracy died a little. When Bailey was gagged by council, Democracy died a little.
