A Public Meeting

A public meeting last night in Yarmouth drew over 100 people, most of them, vehemently opposed to plans by the municipality of Yarmouth to construct a new 4 -million dollar administrative building in Hebron. Most people who spoke last night pointed the finger at council for not being transparent and spending taxpayers money on a building that isn’t needed. Resident John Daley said the fact that so many people packed the council chambers and stood outside in the hallway, shows peoples displeasure. Barry MacGregor, executive director of the Yarmouth YMCA, said the council lacked transparency on the issue. Deputy Warden Brian Noble said he was against amalgamation and said the current courthouse building cannot be renovated cheaply. CJLS will air a call-in program on the issue this Sunday morning at 9 on the CJLS Weekender.
