I see in this week's Promoter - Passburg rezoning turned down that council turned down yet another development project along what appears to be 'old school vs new school' grounds i.e. Mayor Decoux with Councillors Lonsbury and Mitchell voting to defeat the bylaw, in a tied vote (because Councillor Saje, once again, missed a council meeting (there are only two a month?)), with Councillors Saindon, Gallant and Gail voting in favour.
One has to wonder how much more business and development will this current council chase away before they are done?
Also, I wonder if the old school would have voted the way they did if the developer in this case were a... Cervo... for example?
More 'mixed messages' that are killing this community.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'

Somebody should ask Ann Kibala about the time-lines, hurdles and run-around she was put through in trying to open up a 'commercial' development where she did (next to this proposed residential development). Now the same scenario plays itself out again but from the opposite spectrum.
Go figure? This municipality doesn't know what it wants and continues to play games with people on the basis of whose a buddy and whose not. Instead of dealing with people fairly and being consistent in their decision making process so that everyone knows there is a level playing field here in the Crowsnest Pass.

Commercial development unlikely ($2 million to extend services) and no residential development either. Bareland good for gophers only is what is left, instead of families and an increased tax base. Guess the 'old school' wins again in keeping business and development out, in order to maintain future opportunities and the status quo for them.
