‘Bumbling group’

Dear Editor:

RE: Council gets into weeds of procedural bylaw, eventually upholds Bissell park decision, Oct. 31.

The Oct. 28 Centre Wellington council meeting about the Bissell Park ice pad fiasco was a clear example of people in charge of a multi-million dollar operation who know nothing about municipal regulations or rules of running a meeting.

The leader, Mayor Shawn Watters, takes off and declares a conflict of interest and leaves a bumbling group in charge of spending your hard-earned tax dollars. Remember, this is the same gang that gave themselves a raise in pay before really starting the job.

It should be a prerequisite before becoming a councillor to take a course (at their expense) on municipal regulations and a course on Robert’s Rules of Order so they know how to run a meeting.

J. Alexander,
