Good morning Darce - thank you for the opportunity to give you my
position on this very important part of government. I will keep this very
short but let me say that I am disgusted with the amount of secrecy I have
seen in the running of HRM Council in the past few years. The entire
Games bid & the wall of secrecy surrounding the building of the now
$15,000,000 Fall River Rec Centre (paid for by an area rate) are a few
examples.
On a smaller scale I am the Executive Director and Treasurer of a Minor
Baseball Association for 400 kids, I post in plain sight every year our
entire financial statement on our website for everyone to see, the last
5 years are there (www.eteamz.com/lwf). As the Secretary of the LWF
Fire/Community Hall I introduced the motion to post all Meeting Minutes
on the Hall wall after every meeting. These are just examples but I
absolutely believe in the citizens right to know. Its our money and
our country!
Thanks, Barry Dalrymple
