Really??!!

When Denise Palleson stated at the city council meeting of Oct 4 that she thinks it's nice that the city now has professionals to get information from and that the city could go to CABBDA (Cranbrook and Area Business Builders and Developers Association)  since "they are the ones we need the help from” , my alarm bells went off.  When should the city take advice from what is essentially a lobby group for the development community? Consult with CABBDA definitely, but the city needs to make the right decisions for the taxpayers of Cranbrook and those decisions might not always be in the best interests of developers.  If we don't have the expertise at city hall then its time to hire someone who does.
