Seeing Red

By now I think we can all acknowledge that the stop sign fiasco wasn't about public safety. It's about politics and if you don't believe me then you can take it from the horses mouth, councilor Joel Kaddy himself. This quote of councilor Kaddy from todays S&E, "If we come up with some criteria, we can leave the politics out of it."

Why did Jody Joseph not accept the PS committee's recommendation? It's a constituent service. It's bringing home the bacon. It's how politicians buy votes with our tax dollars. It's how Mylott, Mazzarella, Goguen, Antonioni, Olver, and virtually all politicians keep their jobs. It's why incumbency is so strong.

Check back later today for a full report on the 16 Feb PS committee meeting. It'll be informative for some, boring for others, but since the S&E seems to think it's front page news you deserve an unbiased report.
