Interlake Spectator — Great opinion last Fri., March 31, ‘Jim’!
There are a select few who reciprocate, contribute, extend respectability and bestow blessings on our town and its people.
Then there are the takers Jim has referred to as ‘stakeholders’. Their calculated decisions are created behind closed doors, quietly, secretly, with a select few muckety-mucks, the so called elite and the wanna-bees. They negotiate with shrewd compromise. Their new ideas are supposedly clear and economically expressed usually with an off-hand witty twist. They object to any interference from we ‘the ordinary people’, the ‘country bumpkins’’, the so-called ‘brain dead’ seniors or their supposedly ignorant siblings.
I could have sworn we voted and ‘Kevin Chudd’ came in as our mayor. Was that a fantasy?
Together let’s dismantle our council in October. One councillor who handles and makes decisions with our money for the RM of Gimli appears to be the instigator of what should be attended to or constructed next. Both puppets in council agree with him and knock out what our mayor may have in mind for the town.

Luke, the main councillor, has created a new job for himself. Overseeing the income at the Sportspark and surveying future work to be completed. He’ll be paid by the hour for his time in the Sportspark. With the work soon to commence he’ll be there 12 hours a day.
Neither the new manager nor ‘Luke’ know anything about a Sportspark.
Our mayor objected to the decision, but could not alter the facts as Mayor Chudd does not have a vote in the Industrial Group, though Luke does. They have been ruling too long.

 Manitoba Interlake Bumpkins Comments

Hopefully the ‘stakeholders’ will not strive to break or interrupt the effort of those new citizens attempting to work as councillors in the future for our mayor whoever he or she may be.
Bye the bye, I learned that when Mayor Chudd claimed all the workers volunteered to work in the Sportspark last summer it was true. General handymen are scarce in spring and summer in the Interlake. Chudd was correct, but not explicit. Many men did arrive and volunteer to work … but with pay. General workers received $100 a day from the Industrial Group and those paid by the hour from the RM of Gimli. Figure that one out.
