Where's the "In Depth" Reporting?

Sheesh.
You'd think everything was tickety-boo here if you merely read the Morning Star.
Without thinking.

It's been nearly three months since the $70 million water referendum failed.

Thinking people would realize there's been no mention (other than a cursory--and very late--comment from Coldstream mayor Garlick that "it" might lead to a peer review).

Thinking people would wonder why there was no mention by bureaucrats--nor GVAC directors for that matter--of what happens now (other than RDNO boss Sewell saying he'll get politicians and Interior Health to discuss).

Thinking people would realize it's awfully late to encourage public input!  Couldn't public input have been sought before the referendum question was posed?  Perhaps the referendum could have posed multiple options if failure resulted...heaven forbid the time saved would've been an advantage.

And thinking people would wonder if having a one-newspaper town results in the Morning Star taking the easy way out by not asking tough questions of bureaucrats and directors.  And some would wonder aloud if the Morning Star mandate was to consistently and conveniently be pro-bureaucrat.  Yet others would mutter something about the Morning Star being on the Regional District's payroll...their image consultants.

Even a resident who was "uninitiated" in this area's water woes would realize today's Morning Star story could do much, much better.

Ask tough questions.
What if the public demands changes to water sources?
A longer list will be provided if/when the newspaper appears to show interest.
