Editor: The mayor of Chatham-Kent wants Canadian citizens to step up. As a taxpayer of Chatham, I expect the mayor and council to step up also by cancelling all large expenditures that really are not required at this time, like the $57 million Community Hub.
It is a duplication of existing infrastructure.
The grandiose idea of new and better has to be put on hold if these tariffs come in. Already the coffee shop talk is perhaps, with the mayor’s own words, step up and hold back to keep taxes low might be in order.
Or will the new mayor next year will be in line with saving the taxpayers money in 2026?
I for one don’t believe in such a small community that money should be spent for the sake of spending money. But then again if this project continues during a financial crisis of tariffs, a higher government authority might want to intervene to make everybody happy.
