Councillor Calls Survey $70,000 Down The Drain

$70,000 down the drain: that's how Councillor Susan Fullerton describes the citizens surveys that recently asked Saint Johners what they see as the priorities for common council.

Fullerton tells CHSJ News she's sick of spending money to find out information anyone could have already told council, which is that the public want better roads, clean water and more fiscal responsibility at City Hall.

Further, Fullerton says the results of the meetings were skewed because all kinds of special interest groups showed up and voted in favour of their specific interests. She says it's a mystery to her why council voted in favour of the surveys.
