Re: “Across-town sludge pipe to Hartland gets the nod,” Oct. 18.
The article really sent my blood pressure into orbit. The Capital Regional District has “no choice” other than the option they already recognize as “insane” and this is an option that is also going to cost regional taxpayers $783 million?
To make matters even more concerning, this horrendously stupid decision was made in yet another opaque in-camera meeting. Wow. The level of deafness to the ongoing concerns of the public and the governing incompetence of the CRD regarding regional waste management issues is nothing short of jaw-dropping. We need new governance in this committee and we need it yesterday.
