It is telling that the new program director’s public unveiling is the rebranding of the ill-considered boondoggle known as the Capital Regional District sewage treatment project. It shows how this is more about public image than an efficient, well-conceived and fully capable project, and disregards the reality of the fractured, contentious, money-hole that it is and likely will continue to be.

Taxpayers should step forward and demand a full review of what appears to be a white elephant, regardless of the fresh veneer of Seaterra green.
