Letter: Why are councillors “joined at the hip?”

Reader John Burch asks why councillors are supporting a “dysfunctional” chamber.

Editor, the Gazette

Can someone please tell me what’s going on at city hall? You’ve got two councillors, seemingly joined at the hip, who vote against seemingly every motion put forward and are now supporting a dysfunctional chamber of commerce. The chamber never follows its own bylaws? This isn’t an organization but simply a group of people and certainly should not have access to public funds, let alone control how they are distributed. Would Ms. Tripp or Ms. Butler, or I suppose both of them, please explain just what their agenda is? It certainly seems is not looking after the best interests of their constituents and their hard-earned tax dollars.
