"Mayor Higham will probably be remembered as the big spender pond guy who blew threw the cash because his climate hysteria culture club pushed him to do – Handrahan angrily told me not to publish his photo at Pride 2015 with Ann Bastarache, CPC party candidate running against Dominic Leblanc, and Bill Evans has given the ‘gun finger shooting me’ salute when I was on a walk so I – more than anyone could imagine – appreciate Bruce Phinney’s honesty and concern about the decisions, staffing and management and shenanigans going on in the technocratic echo-chamber we call ‘town hall’ where a lot of talk goes on but not a whole lot of common sense is present — the opposition to the Alder’s drive-thru and pipeline Energy East put our town on the map as being non-serious and prone to making a series of big farts in a small town of comfy university academics with no real life work experience… thanks Bruce Wark.. I had hoped you would do a good write up – you never fail to cover the details for locals.. so we are lucky to have you making the effort… I have encouraged people to follow the youtube channel for the Town and leave their commentary there too .. that would give Phinney some more voices of support as he will no doubt be feeling targetted after the Mayor’s inappropriate response to Phinney’s decision to speak out against corruption and waste. Everyone has a duty to say something when they see such obvious financial shenanigans taking place. I won’t vote for Higham in 2020.. nor Evans."
Technocracy town of sackville.com [ New Brunswick Canada ] largely run by obediant, uninspired minions as this video indicates .. at approximately 1 hr 28 minutes... Mayor John Higham responds to Councillor Bruce Phinney who votes against the quarry project as its a liability after Phinney made a formal, public recommendation on behalf of taxpayers that the town remove Crandall Engineering and as well dismiss and replace Dwayne Acton, Jamie Burke & CAO Phil Handrahan for their actions and activity resulting in the $525,000 mistake/mismanagement costs.. Acton, Burke, Handrahan were defended by the Mayor when Higham stated: " .. I think that's um.. I just want to note Councillor Phinney that there is no immunity to the words you say here.. so you need to understand that there may be some something .. there may be some legal action ... its just a warning".. Councillor Bill Evans also piled on to berate Phinney, of course, because having a backbone and standing up for the taxpayers is not something Higham or Evans would ever do.. they're far too busy licking the boots of the green team/technocrats .. and burning through the cash on pond project we don't want. Remember this group refused to let Tantramar Gas Bar put in a drive-thru coffee service because they were worried about pollution.....
They're good at ignoring good projects in favour of being pond builders... dull.
