Accountability is now a top priority | LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

I have been commentating to council since about 1996. The issues surrounding our roads and their repair has been a sore subject for as long as I can remember.

Councilman Scales was incorrect in his statements; all council members should be looking hard at the recommendations coming out of public works.

Since the late 1990s we have bounced from one financial upheaval to the next.

Accountability is now a priority, with the shrinking tax dollars and mounting costs.
