Looking For Logic In All The Wrong Places

KA-NON has left a new comment on your post "Mayor Rob Ford Is A Piker in Contrast.":

It is March 14th. How is the Cultural Centre contract renegotiation committee doing? Who is on it?
***************
March 15th.
There is no committee. A report providing terms of reference for discussion between the town and the culture centre board is anticipated for March 27th Council Meeting.

Whether or not it appears,remains to be seen

When or if Council has approved potential terms of reference, committee member selection process will begin.

Yesterday, Councillor Gaertner indicated she is not interested in serving on the committee. However she recommends nomination/selection of names should be submitted to Council for approval.

Chances are that part of the process will take another month.

By May, providing terms of reference have evolved and received approval and a committee comprised of council and board members is establishedwhich is by no means certain, a schedule of meetings is the next part of the process.

Depending on how many people have to be accommodated,
it may be a lengthy and tedious process.The greater the number the lengthier and more tedious it is.

In June,Council goes into recess because of vacations and difficulty in getting people to-gether during summer months.The more people,the more difficult.

Yes I know, it was understood a commitment was made by the Mayor that the problem would be resolved by the end of March or the termination clause would be re-activated.

Don't forget, three members of council,Gaertner Gallo and Ballard do not acknowledge the problem.

They were joined by Dawe,Thompson and Humphreys, who aligned themselves with the opposition by deciding that citing the termination clause was not the way to handle the problem.

Now we are looking at timetable for a process that at least half of those who voted for, are on record as not acknowledging there is a problem, and are therefore unlikely to vote for it.

The position of the three who processed an amendment that wasn't, is as obscure as the other trio's is clear.

Then there are the three who didn't vote for the process, the objective of which is clearly unclear.

I feel no obligation to vote for something that has all the elements of strategic prevarication. i.e. a stalling tactic.

So the problem, existing since the day the foul and pestilential agreement was signed, continues.

The difference is, we know the responsible parties for the current situation.
