Editor: Re: “When guards are not enough,” the editorial in the May 9 Chatham Voice.
When, during a recession and skyrocketing taxes, our esteemed council is spending money like drunken sailors, getting catered meals (what happened, did one pass out or die from hunger?), I find it hard to fault people for being confrontational.
But isn’t that why we have police? Not to mention an armoured car.
Now they want security guards at the meetings. Will they be unarmed as well? I expect next they’ll want personal bodyguards and armoured limousines.
If it’s too hot for them, perhaps they should leave.
