We Coldstream taxpayers should have Falkland taxpayers come to a meeting with our Mayor and Council.
They`d soon learn how lucky they were to have their majority opinions listened to...and obeyed.
Opposed to, and mistrusting the annual costs of a Dog Control "service" for the community, 200 residents packed the town hall recently and said an emphatic NO.
Of those attending the meeting, nine people were in favour of the service and the $14.18 projected cost per household annually.
As reported in today`s Morning Star newspaper, elected representative Rene Talbot was quoted as saying ``It`s clear people are not interested and the whole point of the meeting was to get people`s views.``
191 vs. 9 = 191 prevailed in Falkland.
``In Coldstream, it works the other way around,`` says Kia.
Just ask any acreage owner.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill
