Ticked Off

Apparently you write to the News, but you obviously don’t read it. The NDP government (Rachel Notley’s) staff and salary was 21 per cent higher than the UCP. Also in case you haven’t heard, or read, the UCP government is spending money on taking care of Albertans — COVID-19.

Recent events have increased the number of bicycles on our streets and pathways, which is great.

Commission­er states, “We still went with best qualified bid and it happened to be the low bid.” But wait a minute, I had to go back and read that the contract was awarded “after that firm was one of two that bid on the work.” and one of them was non-compliant. I suppose by default that makes it the best qualified and lowest bid also, so happy the city looks after spending our tax dollars wisely. Ticked off 15 months later and still no 50 prosecutor­s hired. “Promise made. Promise broken.”
