Comments on: Saint John City Hall – Killen, Titus have worst attendance http://saintjohnshawn.com/2009/08/22/saint-john-city-hall-killen-titus-have-worst-attendance/ Views from Saint John, New Brunswick Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:51:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dr H http://saintjohnshawn.com/2009/08/22/saint-john-city-hall-killen-titus-have-worst-attendance/comment-page-1/#comment-2519 Dr H Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:31:13 +0000 http://saintjohnshawn.com/?p=955#comment-2519 Maybe they've been running practice sessions in case the swine flu hits and only some of them survive? Seriously, if anyone in private industry missed this many executive meetings, they'd be fired for absenteeism. WHEN OH WHEN OH WHEN will any of these people behave like this is a real job with real accountability and real consequences for the shareholders, we the taxpayers? I watched 7, yes SEVEN police vehicles respond to a single intoxicated pedestrian Monday night on Chesley drive. The 911 operators knew it was one person only. How fiscally sound is it to pay 7 officers to respond to a single drunk and disorderly call? Great service but at the price of losing a West Side fire station? Perhaps if everyone attended the meetings as required, the way money is thrown around would be considered more thoroughly. Oh, wait! That's right, no one told any of them before they were elected they would be expected to commit to a Monday night meeting on a regular basis. Ok, now I understand.

Oh, wait... They already shot that idea down. They could move to a standing committee system which would require much less time and fewer meetings overall.
