Dear Editor
I am absolutely shocked and angered that the health region has the gall to approach city council to fund the furnishing of a provincial facility. And the statement of "a long standing policy" shows the board has completely dropped the ball in this area, as it's not a new or special policy that would have caught them by surprise.
The thought of adding another special levy to my property taxes really gets my goat. As in the editorial (“New Beginnings late to task of fundraising”), how could they not have seen this in the years coming up? To suggest they cannot re-purpose any of the existing equipment is ludicrous. But what really gets me is the fact that Prairie North Health Region CEO David Fan states, "I haven't even contemplated that" leaves me wondering what is going on with our health authority board?
