Keep The RCMP in HRM

Here we go again. Drastic changes with no public input. Again Mayor Kelly who cried and whined about the secrecy of council meetings when he was a councillor makes Howard Hughes look like an exhibitionist. Why do away with the RCMP? They do a great job and for the most part live in and are part of the community they police.
What will the change cost?
We will have to build and maintain and staff depots.
We will have to buy and maintain vehicles.
We will have to hire, train, outfit and maintain the police force.
Where was the PUBLIC INPUT into this?
It's our money they seem ready flush it down every economic black hole they can find.
Presently $30,000,000 in the hole.......
With a $46,000,000 bill coming up next year from the Canada Games
Almost $3,000,000 to buy an old rail spur that we now must pay to turn into a trail, maintain said trail and police it.
This council's spending is out of control and it's time we spoke up.
Tell them to leave well enough alone. If it isn't broke don't mess with it leave the RCMP where they are. It's our money and the vast majority of the people are happy with the RCMP.
The arrogance of our Mayor and the council can best be seen in their attitude in this matter when the Mayor tells us there will be no public input.

Speak up it's your money and your community, Contact your councillor and or the Mayor by using the E Mail index on the left of the screen.
