and ongoing behind-the-scenes shenanigans here:
"Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black caught council watchers off-guard with a surprise announcement near the close of Monday’s committee of the whole meeting.
“One more,” he said raising an index finger. “I promise this will be the end,” he added peering down at his papers before launching into his announcement.
“The Mayor’s Round Table on Housing was created in August of last year to initiate a conversation about housing and the housing crisis and how to address those concerns within Tantramar,” Black said.
He went on to explain that he had reached out to knowledgeable people experienced in housing and community development.
“The goal of this group is to network with the intention of expanding that network as we progress,” he said.
“Our focus for the next couple of months is to have a larger stakeholder engagement session… a large event where we pull in people from our community,” he added later.
Black referred to the similar Mayor’s Round Table on Climate Change established in 2019 by former Sackville Mayor John Higham. It has since become a standing committee that meets periodically behind closed doors to come up with recommendations for council.
The mayor then asked Councillor Michael Tower, a member of the new round table, to report on what the group has been doing in its five meetings since August."
Politicians should not be in the business of housing... they should be getting out of the way and letting the builders build instead of meddling in the market place with their cronies.
