Last week - I blogged on my concerns about the City using the remaining $400,000 in the Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Budget for paving in 2011 - see here
Since then - I've received the following note from Ken MacInnis - City of Williams Lake Communications Coordinator
The City did not use funds approved in the AAP for other paving projects. It is using senior government funds for those other projects, with the City’s 1/3 of the funding coming from City revenue, not the money approved in the AAP.
Because the City rolled the Cameron Street work in with the Mackenzie work, it was actually able to get more paving done while using less borrowed money than approved by the electors.
To suggest the City is using those AAP funds for a project other than what the electors approved is false and suggests impropriety on the City’s part.
The blog post in question has now been changed. Notwithstanding this - I still profusely disagree with WL Council's actions on Mackenzie Avenue Rehab Project Budget and will continue to express those concerns to the public

Please keep expressing them, it just drives home you lack of comprehension of how a city is run and decisions that need to be made.
