Old Boy's Club - Musgrave Harbour Municipal Council Reform - Newfoundland & Labrador/Beyond

If I were to try to simplify this frustration in an analogy, I would say, imagine the only way that you could communicate with someone would be via Pony Express and you can only express basic ideas like on Twitter to keep conversation going.

This message takes 2 weeks to get there and 2 weeks (if you’re lucky), to get a reply back from the Town Hall and then rinse and repeat.

Before you know it, 4 months has passed, such as happened to me.

By the time your message is received, processed, responded to and you are notified; the broken telephone game could have come in to effect and thrown everything off course, confusing the heck out of things.

Alternatively, take that same idea, and think about sometime you had sent a text message to a friend and it got out of hand due to time passing between sending it and them getting back to you.

That essentially is the downfall of the current Town Council system.

Nothing can get done that requires interaction unless everyone is enthusiastic and does not subscribe to the standard framework of old boy’s club Council meetings.

The way things work for Council meetings need to be augmented.
