The only thing transparent in Mayor Milne’s promise to the electorate four years ago is the crystal clear fact that absolutely nothing can be seen in the way of progress. This council has been mired in mediocrity from the day they were elected. They have absolutely nothing to show for their past four years in office with the exception of having the washroom in Rotary Friendship Park painted with a mural.
The alleged heart of the Sunshine Coast needs a defibrillator now plus a pacemaker just to keep beating until October. The most encouraging thing that Mayor Milne could do at this late point in his third attempt of being a mayor is to declare he’s finished keeping Sechelt in the dark ages. Maybe then some of the other deadwood on council would follow his example and declare other interests so we could start over with a more progressive batch of newcomers.
I really hope the silent majority of non-voting taxpayers wake up and smell the decay of Sechelt. Four years of decline that we can ill afford to continue unless everyone is content with their ever-rising property taxes.
Doug Hockley, West Sechelt
