Is our old friend Backlin involved in this one, too?

If my memory serves me correctly Backlin appeared at one of the hearings and gave it the big "go for it spiel"

This council needs a wakeup call. They cant service the infrastucture that we have yet here we are at the airport blowing our whistle for more development. They want to spend 48 million for a acces road road to the development by giving us the crap that it could be a future danderous goods route.

The new road would parallel the old Cariboo Highway not much more then a kilometer distant from the new route. Why is the project being built at that location when it would make more sence to have it accessable from existing roads? Do we have community plan or is it a tax driven plan?

Cheers

"Fetch me that plan, #1".

"Which plan is that sir" ?

"That land plan thingy, you dolt" !

"Sorry sir, we don't really have that plan on board at the moment... but we do have this community plan that was drawn up on a paper napkin, sir".

"How the hell are we supposed to navigate these waters with a map like this, you twit... it keeps changing everytime you look at it" !!

"Sorry sir... at least we tried".
