Watching the Sechelt council meeting of Feb. 5, I was shocked to hear not one of the councillors supported Mayor Henderson’s motion to direct staff to provide options on ways to reduce local government spending.
How can senior management of the district think significant spending increases over the last year are even remotely acceptable? It seems management has lost sight of the need to be fiscally responsible and accountable.
The fact that councillors are unwilling to even discuss this is a disgrace. They were elected to make tough decisions following thoughtful and informed discussion. It seems being vindictive takes precedence over the best interest of Sechelt taxpayers. That they refuse to discuss the issue indicates a serious neglect of responsibility.
