Councillors were right in saying no to school
Friday July 25 2008 Dear editor,
Re: Support for Keswick Suther-land School.
 The mystery is solved. Our Town councillors voted unanimously to override the planning department’s recommendation re: Keswick Sutherland because they thought it was WRONG.
Our Regional councillors thought their planning department was wrong too, so they voted against it. Given that the Region’s planning analysis was largely based on our Town planning staff’s information, this was no surprise.
We elected our councillors to lead. To suggest that they should blindly follow staff recommendations that they thought were made in error is foolish.
I suggest that friends of the developer give up berating our mayor and councillors for doing what they think is right. It is called democracy.
