Once again we find Mr. Stoffer talking out of both sides of his mouth. On one side he claims to be a strong supporter of our forces, on the other side, if given the chance he would send the forces down the river without a paddle. It is easy to talk when you only want to trash the other side. It is more difficult when you want to present a viable alternative. Mr. Stoffer is great at the trash talking but always lets us down when it comes to presenting real world solutions.

For instance did Mr. Dexter make a commitment to balance the budget with No tax increase. We have come to learn that he also is a true to form politician and as such his combination of words around commitments and integrity are oxymorons.

There are of course some words that when combined are like stating the obvious, are double adjectives and are synomons. What is an example of that— politician/ greed.

I am probably older than you are Gary, and it took many years of disappointment to learn this. As you grow older and you get a written (or verbal) commitment from a politician you will realize that you have received something worthless.

There is an old saying– Fool us once shame on him; fool us twice shame on us!!! Guess who is laughing at you now!!!

The meeting was helpful to the board that has restructured and will continue under a new chairman, Bill Horne and with a new energy brought to the organization by some new young members and an infusion of the old. The park will survive and the tenders are out for the new ballfield thanks to Councillor Dalrymple and the HRM.
