Are ratepayers meant to have no input into their rural municipal governance

Also please don't worry about the credibilty of any internet posting forum. It is only one of a million sounding boards where information can not be relied on any more than gossip at a coffeeshop or any watering hole. C'mon give us a break on that argument.

Stop thinking you have a clue about what i do or don't
know.

It does not take a fkin genius to figure out there is an
ocean of oil underneath the area and that to get the
stuff out and to market is going to need a god damn
railroad and the industry is snowballing at such a rate
every piece of infrastructure needs to be utilized in
the area.

The fact you didn't see the reality of the situation
doesn't make everyone else the bad guy.

And i also don't really have a clue about what exactly
your allegations are,could you put them in simple
point form sentences(trust me you will get more
replies in all topics if you learn to use as few as words
as possible instead of long drawn out paragraphs)

How do claim to be credible while remaining anonymous? Grow
some stones if you want credibility and put your name to it.

When I write letters to the editor I do just that. I also proof read, spell check and stick stronly to verifiable facts; and go through more than one revision..
When all facts are deliberately with held; one must resort to enquiring, visiting with neighbors; posting to agriville; and gossiping Everyone and myself is not as thorough or can be as careful. And no one is required or expected to expose themselves to the scrutiny and attack that would surely happen if their identity was known for sure.
There are many people who think they know who the writer ares. But they will never know for sure if a person was serious; lying or putting a topic out for discussion by being the devil's advocate; incorporating other person's ideas; nor whether they are 100% certain of someone's identity.
And that is why everyone posting should preserve their identity as much as possible.
As for not understanding a writer's points; that is pure B.S.
You wouldn't be responding if tender nerves aren't being touched.

THEN JUST COME CLEAN WITH EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!

I'm not asking you to repeat rumors; I'm asking for facts that should be available to the public. You say you have personal knowledge; and council has the same position; and it information that should be available for public scrutiny before this "deal" is fully completed.
It obviously is a somewhat or very important development(s) (with numerous public implications) and the public decisions are totally being made by within secret negotiations.
