Mayor Mertens thinks there is treasure hidden in the dunes of Sandbanks Provincial Park in the form of lost tax revenue. Seems the park, a provincial entity, may not be paying it’s fair share. It certainly seems like it’s more interested in expanding within it’s own borders than in helping to maintain the roads surrounding and leading to it.

Sinkhole
A sinkhole recently opened up in Picton. Old infrastructure and leaky bits was apparently the cause. I have a fair amount of respect for our current mayor. He often tries to do the right thing, but gets bogged down in whatever nonsense is surrounding him. For some reason both these thoughts clicked together this past week.

Mayor Merten’s Wish List
Elves are cheeky buggers. Be careful what you ask for this Christmas. You might not get what you wanted, but what you need instead. Or, if you’re a certain Mayor, maybe you’ll get what you deserve.
