Re: Integration of Municipalities

John St. Aubin | Nov 04, 2020

I don't know where to start, but I have questions.

We total 27,000 folks here

Seriously Who was the brainiac that thought of splitting it into five municipalities

Why are there 5 municipalities, 5 councils, 5 administrations, 5 CAO's 

5 times the staff required, 5 times the machinery? 

All charging different tax rates. Central is broke (4k residents) south is prosperous (18k residence.

We are in a serious fiscal crisis right Now! 

We're loosing our jobs, our savings, our businesses, and our homes.

Have the municipalities lost their collective minds. They have no sense of reality. They talk about raising our taxes even when plenty of us can hardly pay the current ones. 

Raising taxes for pay raises, to build up their reserves? Now is when they are should be using them. 

Lets spend & spend on really important things like making the K&P trail longer (the one I walk my dog on where you can walk for 2 hrs and not meet another person) or on another beautification project or another trail on Wolf Island or or or.

When you loose your mind and your income, do you go on a shopping spree NO! you go into survival mode. Our councils think will magically go away with no consequences??

Do people remember when you couldn't use your credit card for groceries because the bank thought you might not be able to pay it off. Well it's happening right Friggin now!

My first question; is who or what body can put back integration? Do we trust our politicians to fire each other, there a survivorship bunch for sure.

My next question is how can we stop their nonessential spending spree?
