Editor: At a time of economic struggle for most people, I am appalled that municipal council is spending the amount of money proposed at the old Sears building.
The increase in property taxes along with other prices going up will surely produce more homeless, especially amongst seniors.
Councillors should be ashamed of themselves.
Has council also taken into consideration the extra cost of security for this new building downtown? They will need it to ward off the homeless defecating and shooting up on the doorstep.
You need to consider putting more money towards solving that issue instead of worrying about a nicer place for you to work.
