BURLINGTON, ON
Update: Both showed up after the lunch break
Here is a first.
For the first time in my memory, which covers 12 years of covering council meetings, both the Chair and the Vice Chair of a Standing Committee could not make it to the meeting.
Stolte was a no show.
Nisan was a no show
Councillors Stolte and Nisan sent their regrets.
Committee Clerk Jo-Anne Rudy had to draft Councillor Sharman to take the Chair of the Community Planning, Regulation and Mobility Committee.
No word from either Council member. Stolte has been emailing earlier in the day.
It is truly remarkable how often people who badly need bridges are extremely adept at burning them. And I am not referring to Shawna Stolte.
To the editor of the Gazette,
Please take into consideration that we, at Council, are human too.
My absence this morning is due to a debilitating migraine and not necessarily newsworthy.
Thank you,
Shawna Stolte
This council is falling apart! If any of them plan on getting re-elected they might want to get their acts together!!
