Honestly, I don't have strong opinions on #localgovt, but the hypocrisy of acting like #ThreeWaters was an imminent threat to democracy, then forcing their own agenda on councils is making me crazy.

Let the #MiningSector fight it in the Courts. The WA Govt’s statements about enacting new legislation to prevent #LocalGovt from rating mining companies is a cleart attempt to circumvent the legal system and therefore #AntiDemocratic and should be deemed #Unconstitutional. IMO.

This is what climate leadership looks like. Not the “axe the tax” baloney pedalled by Poilievre or the flip-flop vote pandering by Eby & Singh.

“Such a last-minute motion at the large multi-day conference would not usually make it to the voting stage…but this one was accepted as an emergency resolution &passed overwhelmingly by [local govt] delegates representing …from across the province.”

As the B.C. election campaign kicks off this week, mayors and councillors from across the province are sending a blunt message to the political parties vying to form government: don’t axe the carbon tax.

In #Deming and #LunaCounty, these two local governments have been struggling to find ways to allow public input without the meetings becoming a circus.

Public comments can sometimes bring a lot of entertainment and some spectacle to a dry municipal meeting, but they decided there needed to be limits.

Deming got rid of public comments altogether -- but began holding monthly "town hall" meetings to let folks ask questions and comment at length. 1/2

I was at District Council House in Lichfield tonight for my first Lichfield District Council meeting representing #Chasetown and #Burntwood.
I dug out my smartest outfit for the occasion.

I am told that I am the first Lichfield District Councillor to swear allegiance to a king rather than a queen.
