In defence of RVC council

RE: Oct. 26 Rocky View Weekly poll question, " Are you concerned with Rocky View County council’s procedural knowledge?" Dear Editor, I feel the above-mentioned survey result was very harsh.

RE: Oct. 26 Rocky View Weekly poll question, "Are you concerned with Rocky View County council’s procedural knowledge?" Dear Editor, I feel the above-mentioned survey result was very harsh. This new (except one person) council has been so much better than most of the previous ones, in so many ways, in spite of the fact that only one person on council has experience. Admittedly, the second reading thing was an exception, as was the decision to re-write the gravel pit guidelines when only a few adjustments would have sufficed – but compared to the number of crazy decisions made by past councils, this one is the best we’ve seen in more than 25 years. Our councillor, Samanntha Wright, has shown great common sense, response to enquiries, communication with her constituents and has an excellent problem-resolution record. From what we have seen of Coun. Crystal Kissel, she, too, is doing an excellent job. I can’t comment specifically on the others as I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them in action, but from what I have been reading in the press, they are doing very well, indeed. Let’s give this council compliments, not brickbats. Lynn Chambers Division 8
