‘Still stinks’

Dear Editor:

RE: Future Highway 6 bypass route beside Pierpoint Park is off the table, Feb. 8.

In spite of the excitement of Centre Wellington council announcing that there will be no “bypass” on the Pierpoint Nature Reserve, I am left with a feeling that this proclamation just seems to be more of the same thing: a very expensive bridge, months of noise and work, trees cut down, traffic increased, peace disturbed.

There was an Irish expression; “You can dress a pig up and call it Paddy, but it still stinks.”

I think it applies here.
