My comment may be aggressive but as a new transplant to Sturgeon Falls I am disappointed and frankly embarrassed as to the decisions of town council. Unfortunately the whole Council is painted with same brush and under a microscope. The community has trusted you to work for the taxpayers and not be short sighted by ego or financial expectations. I am confident all of the representatives had a decent idea of how they would be compensated. The cherry on the cake, you reward the taxpayers with misrepresenting wage increases. I have spent several years representing organized labour and we had never received more than 3% per year. It amazes me at the rate of property tax increases since I have joined the community in the last 3 years and observe few progressive changes. In contrast, at the very least we deserve better roads and a safer community. It is easy to highlight by recall micro management of short term rentals, chicken coups and it is alarming how hazardous waste materials has been entering our community under the guise as safe materials and profitability. The real threat to our community is the behaviour on council. I hope the next time our community has to elect a group of representatives that we exercise more due diligence and the representatives themselves decide to represent.

We the people should have the right to vote regarding a raise for council.Who else gives themselves a 27% ? This is our money and we should have a say on this matter especially when some councilors lie to our face.Shame on you 😡
