LETTER: Pothole problem getting out of control
14Goodness, all you do Shane is shout into the wind like a angry man. Governance has nothing to do with failing roads. It has everything to do with Freeze and Thaw cycles being more pronounced. Climate Change is wreaking havoc on our roads and Shane wants to blame goverenance issues. Thank goodness hes not at the table.

34True but we have a city council that is more interested in legacy projects rather then doing the real job of taking care of city infrastructure.

9Ah yes there he is once again with another letter as a preamble to his eventual announcement he'll be once again running for council with the tag line "come to thunder bay, we've got great roads" as if people base any choice on that. The roads are not that big of an issue and potholes are entirely tied to the freeze and thaw cycle. Shane hates facts that don't help his argument so he willfully ignores them and misleads the public (a snap shot of how he would govern I'm sure). We know freeze and thaw is the issue and the way we know that is that when we had the amazing winter from a few years ago where no snow fell and temperatures hovered around 0 all winter there were a record low number of calls about pot holes to the city and city maintenance crews had very little patch work in the spring, a direct result of no melting snow and no freeze and expansion.

Airport baggage scanner out of service, no timeline for repairs
25Instead of a fancy new parking lot, maybe a second scanner is in order.

23Lol what a joke! 23 million needed still? The Art Gallery and Science North should have teamed up and built 1 building split 50/50. Now you need 2 buildings taking up beautiful waterfront space! Nice job council!! Shame.

27How about our tax dollars go to infrastructure instead of "Encampments".!....now there's a novel idea.....?

8He consistently talks about the Art Gallery, the city has contributed 5 million towards it and some additional money since (minor) for a building that when built is over 70 million, not a terrible investment overall for a brand new building in our city on the waterfront. We'll see what happens with operations. The turf facility reserve fund was largely built with funds not from the municipal taxpayer, he knows this and ignores it to try and make his point and once again mislead the public. The cost of the turf facility will ultimately come in at somewhere in the neighbourhood of 25% by the municipal taxpayer and families want these types of facilities, we know this. Some winters are worse than others and in the spring the roads are patched. Go take a drive in Toronto or Montreal or Winnipeg if you want to see bad roads, Shane has no clue. His calling card is misleading the public in service of a weak argument that doesn't stand up to examination.

Missing person Kelsey Anderson now a 'private family matter'
12This isn't how you get the community to help out with missing persons. People are asked to help look for a community member then iced out instantly, way to appreciate their help.

Missing person Kelsey Anderson now a 'private family matter'
13Theyâre asking for privacy due to a death in the family, thatâs not that hard to understand. If the only reason youâre helping is to be able to get details then maybe you want to rethink your reason for helping.
