Why is Langford council so secretive? There is an old adage in the justice system that says: BԪַJustice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.BԪַ
There are a hundred seniors in the Tri-Way Trailer Park who didnBԪַt get to see how they were abandoned. Was the mayorBԪַs letter of commitment to them even raised at the decisive meeting since he was absent? Meeting minutes issued much later arenBԪַt verbatim so they will never know who held the BԪַshivBԪַ while their backs were turned.
The meetings are over and the decisions have been made before citizens are informed. Audio tapes issued long afterwards reveal the speakerBԪַs words but again, way too late. It looks like that same BԪַopen and honest governmentBԪַ may be doing the same thing to the Fairway Neighbours Group.
Most other municipalities live stream and understand the principle of BԪַjustice being seen to be done.BԪַ Why is Langford so resistant? What are they hiding and why?
