-------- Your tax dollars at work ---------
Dear Reader:
I am back home tomorrow after a dozen glorious days in St. Andrews, New Brunswick with kids,
grandkids and
inlaws.... something refreshing about spending time with folks between the ages of 2 and 90!!! Great way to review and challenge perspectives.... recuperate from open heart surgery and more than four weeks in hospital....
I'll be glad to be back.... so much to do and write about......So lets get this blog back on track.......
This week's submission will begin ....... with a review of what constitutes Evaluation in today's "Best Management Practices" and the so-called "evaluation" conducted by Economic development of
SWSDA.... In doing so we will talk about the standard now accepted by local, regional, national and international bodies.......
"Results-Based Management AND Monitoring"....... AND ...... ask the question.... can we rely on
the findings flowing from the evaluation process used by Economic Development and if not what changes should we seek in the system.....
SWSDA Mis-direction Uncovered Again
I will also share with you on this blog..... a very informative letter I received from the Municipality of
Shelburne about the purported millions of dollars Mr. Anderson has repeatedly claimed was owed to
SWSDA by the taxpayers of the municipality....
amazing how far one can get on bluff, bravado and BS.... Thank you Mr. Cox for helping
rebut the urban legend perpetuated by former Wardens and Councillors and Acting CAOs about our collective indebtedness to SWSDA!
In my other blog I intend to end the week with a discussion of the potential structure of organized development in Shelburne County and some of the options available to ensure public participation and accountability in the process.......
We'll take a brief look at the options for creating a functional RDA, the role that a group like Team
Shelburne might play, how a properly mandated
Shelburne County Industrial Commission might help and become an integral part of the development team .....and what to do with
inefficient and ineffective regional provincial government agencies dealing with education, community services, economic development, health and more...... I can hardly wait! We might even ask some questions about the management of marine resources and fisheries...... and energy! Keep an eye on my other blog too..... But before we do......
SO.... WHAT IS A TROLL?
From
Wikipedia....
"Do not feed the trolls" and its abbreviation
DNFTT redirect here. For the
Wikipedia essay, see
"What is a troll?".In
Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an
online discussion forum,
chat room or
blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response
[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
