-------- Your tax dollars at work ---------
NERVE... WITH A CAPITAL N!!
You will recall that in August, Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations' Mr. Wills pointed out to Mr. Anderson that as an RDA SWSDA was not allowed to own land and as a Municipal Body its financing had to be approved by the Minister and provided under the Municipal Finance Act.
Here is Mr. Anderson's reply.... it speaks volumes about Mr. Anderson's and his ability to twist facts to accommodate his view of the world. The legislation is clear as is Justice Hood's decision of last November. Any body, including a Society whose Board is effectively controlled by representatives of Municipal Governments is a "Municipal Body" by definition and subject to the Freedom of Information provisions of the Municipal Government Act.
Try as he might... you can't change what you've been in the past.... if it looks like a duck, mates with a duck, flies like a duck, sheds duck feathers and eats from the ducks' dish... it is considered a duck.......
Of course Mr. Anderson indicates that SWSDA's well paid lawyers don't agree!!
Surprise... Surprise...! Mr. Anderson also assured his Board of Directors for more than two years that SWSDA's lawyers said that SWSDA was not subject to the Freedom of Information provisions of the Municipal Government Act....
Guess they were wrong then.... wonder if they're wrong again?!?
More later!!!
