Which Comes First?

The Citizens of Niagara have suffered through the long political degradation and exponentially corrupt Niagara Regional government!

.

Finally, the Citizens wiped out the preponderance of obviously worthless seat-heaters that were masquerading as conscientious Councilors.

Yet, the new crop of Regional Councilors seems to be tone deaf to the sensitivity of their constituents made extremely more acute by a sordid past performance.

.

Why should or would the new crop of Regional Councilors expect an increase in their pay before they prove their worth?

A sceptical constituency is watching!

.

They were well aware of the compensation level when they begged for our vote to get elected!

.

‘News Alert Niagara’ suggests that the new crop of Regional Councilors either prove their worth or resign!

Can Chair Bradley claim that trust of the Regional Council has been returned to the People of Niagara? Can he now state that trust, integrity, transparency and openness has been returned?
.
What about the continuing effort to deny Citizens the ability to make a presentation to their council in the Citizen's own Council Chamber based on their deliberate and unconscionable scheduling? 
.
What about the machiavellian strategy to switch from the Consumer Price Index to the so-called 'Municipal Price Index' allowing the regional regime the ability to gouge the hapless Citizen with pay increases (3.3%) that their Constituents can only dream about!
.
Predicated on so many fronts, the fact remains that Chair Bradley and his Niagara Regional Government cannot make any claim that trust, integrity, transparency and openness has been returned.
.
Chair Bradley and his bloated council will have to earn the trust of the constituents by proving integrity; by displaying transparency and openness. Clever rhetoric will no longer suffice!

.

Service first – remuneration consideration second!
