Nice to see that the private club that applied for a grant in aid for $10000 was rejected by council especially when their application for the grant showed almost a $1000 penalty in tax arrears. That speaks to chronic mismanagement! Their application didn't give enough details for councillors to make an informed decision. Way too vague, and "we are desperate" doesn't cut it when you're asking for my tax dollars! Time to allow that dinosaur to swim on its own or die of natural causes.
