TIME TO ACT!

*****TRANSFORMING CLIENTS INTO CITIZENS******

BEFORE ..... OUR COLLECTIVE COUNCILS HOLD SECRET MEETINGS! BEFORE ..... WARDENS AND COUNCILLORS MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT PUBLIC INPUT!
BEFORE .... ELECTED OFFICIALS MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THINGS THEY HAVEN'T THOUGHT THROUGH!
BEFORE .... MEMBERS OF SWSDA'S BOARD MAKE DECISIONS THAT WE CITIZENS WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH!
BEFORE... ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ACOA AND SWSDA ENGAGE IN SECRET NEGOTIATIONS!
BEFORE.... OTHERS WITH VESTED INTERESTS IN OUR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARE DISENFRANCHISED!

INVITE CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INFORMED PUBLIC DIALOGUE ABOUT OUR FUTURE RDA OR RDAs.....!!!!

Join the Concerned Citizens Committee of Shelburne County and demand a meeting with councils and officals from Economic Development. To join just send me an email indicating you want to participate in the dialogue to create a new RDA for Shelburne County. Write to aacayer@gmail.com and I will add you to our mailing list and give you an opportunity to sign petitions to get your council to engage in public dialogue.

Perhaps someone can answer this question: What town ,besides Shelburne, does not have a sidewalk its the hospital? This is a social as well economic development item at the grass roots level.Anyone able to take this one on?

What would such a side walk cost? Or can we put a price on human life?What about transit? Only one grocery store..Sobey's....gouging its way along. Seniors and disabled persons are having a difficult time.The town trucks (especially rec) drive all day....perhaps they could offer the less fortunate a ride?It is nigh time for the populace to rise up!We cannot attend meetings if they are closed doored at secret times.It is time oust Delaney and his mostly sombies!Keep Mattithall and dump the rest....IF YOU CAN FIND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Karen,get your team into a positive work mode...Take them out and about to introduce them to their citizens as most forget who they are...
They seem to be stuck in time and uncertain why they were chosen to be leaders.
