Interesting how the Mayor and his ilk have backed out the $13 million cost of the underground parking from the new gallery construction. These two projects go hand-in-hand. But I give credit to the marketing strategists in successfully hoodwinking the public into believing that the cost of the total project is less than it really is.
In past when a project is planned that is so divisive in the community ( Sask Place, casino) Councils of past have given the public their say through a referendum. Why not on this matter?
And since this Council has not brought in a capital project on budget, no one should assume this gallery project will come in at $84 million.
Who was that wise lady who thought River Landing should re-named The Atch Hole?

Funny you should suggest that Mistress. Former Mayor Dayday has penned a letter to Council asking for them to vote on just that Monday night.
ReplyDeleteGood for Dayday. I have suggested this several times already, both on this blog and in a column I write.
DeleteI have no expectations it will happen.
55% of respondents to the NewsTalk Radio 650 online poll of March 11 want a plebiscite on moving the gallery.
ReplyDeleteI am one of that majority and am extremely frustrated by council's non-willingness to listen to reason. What can we do about this?
