A fifteen minute council meeting? With several council members not in attendance?
Don't be so surprised, Newmarket.
Isn't that what you wanted when you decided that "getting along" on Council was more important than holding Mayor Van Bynen's administration accountable?
After all, aren't the voters always right?
Two years ago, several self appointed "elites" (ironically, most of them came from Aurora) pumped thousands of dollars into removing the lone member of Council who actually participated in Council meetings, by asking questions and demanding answers.
Awestruck by big blue signs and glossy materials, voters elected instead a mannequin who attends every meeting but doesn't speak. Dutifully, she votes any which way the Gruesome-Twosome demand of her.
We now have a Council that gets along famously. Too bad they don't accomplish anything at all.
Where are the big initiatives the Gruesome-Twosome promised?
- Broadband?
- Accelerated intensification of Yonge and Davis Corridor?
- New jobs for Newmarket?
- Positive working relationships with local businesses?
- Post secondary campus?
- Better performing hospital?
Our Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Council haven't made a single accomplishment towards any of these goals.
A four year mandate and more than half of that time has been wasted "getting along" with each other.
