Editor: With the Trump tariffs now becoming reality in places, it seems very much that the grandiose ideas of the mayor and council of Chatham-Kent will not happen due to economic restraints .
As people lose their jobs and markets weaken, only blind politicians would continue with duplicating existing infrastructure while this turmoil goes on in Canada.
Next year, voters of Chatham-Kent must remember who not to vote for if this massive $57-million or so project goes ahead while the people of Chatham-Kent are suffering.
There must be some political group or people that can make a list like Santa Claus and check it twice so the voters of Chatham- Kent can see who doesn’t care how much of their money is spent during these tough times.
The project must be put on hold or cancelled completely. There are complaints over parking, and lack of transit to and from Bothwell ,Wallaceburg, Thamesville, Ridgetown, let alone any other outlying area.
Many other areas are also underserved.

Editor’s note: Municipal figures suggest the price disparity between the Community Hub option and Civic Centre renovations is $6 million.
