Answers to questions ignored

The following letter was written on June 11, 2007 but was never printed in the local paper, a letter written at the request of many who ask as I've done many times, why the citizens of Welland can not obtain answers from their elected officials to questions that have been put forward many, many times;
Why is the Conservation Committee(CC), a committee that is supposed to be dedicated to the conservation of water, a committee that has gone to a great deal of expense to promote Rain Barrels and Low Flow Toilets to save water has the nerve to overlook the prime waste of water in the summer time, LAWN WATERING that has a trend to double summer consumption? Not, and I stress NOT one member of that CC and NOT one member of the present council has the intestinal fortitude to step forward with even one reason to support their ignoring this regular misuse of water.
This writer challenges these CC people and councilors to get in touch with those communities I listed in a previous letter a few weeks ago and ask them, as I did, why they put in their bylaw where in most cases there is an abundant supply of water.
The Seaway Mall land deal with the city that expired one year ago has yet to bring into being any reason why the deal did not happen.Because of this lack of information rumors have started to float around the city stating the city did not want the land back and there was a mistake in the phrasing of the deal. What ever, it seems to be a hushed up issue that even councilor Belcastro refrains from commenting on when he was implicated in the original business deal.
The Helems Ave disaster as every Wellander knows exceeded the budget yet as of this writing and well over a year after the completion there has never been a disclosure of the actual cost, a cost asked for many times and ignored.
Finally Denistoun Street, a street in need of repair and resurfacing, a street the ward councilors have been asked about for the past two years and to this date have yet to give one solid reply, even a projection is better than saying nothing.
