A lot of readers have been asking about the anonymous posting policy. I have spoken to a lot of readers and a surprising amount have expressed a fear of reprisals from the District. People have an illegal suite or a trailer in their yard or they want to get something subdivided or rezoned or the numbers on their garbage can are too small or their kid's tree fort doesn't meet the setbacks or their business is short one parking space or they don't want to get hassled about their business license.....
A sad commentary but it is very true...so people have to comment in secret or the iron fist of the District will squash them ?? I found this out first hand during the water shortage. My surf shop got raided by two bylaw officers armed with digital cameras and I was told not to use any water.They said they were going to analyze the water in my tank (from a friend's well) and I would be charged. At the same time the Hotel and fishplant on either side of the shop were going full tilt.One of the officers was apologetic saying they were just following orders......from who ???
Please remember this is an election year and don't be afraid to speak out.....
