To the Editor,
Re: City should await results of core review, Dec. 29.
Acting city manager Tracy Samra is getting negative press for doing the work she was hired to do. What is the problem, is she to sit and do nothing for six months and collect a paycheque? She attended all staff/city meetings. Assessing what needed be done she acted upon those decisions with the approval of mayor and council. She gets rude, bullying treatment from some council members. She is well-educated and qualified for the job. We needed someone on short notice. The core review process is now shortened and less costly. It is apparent who on council are the problem, speaking to others with no respect is not acceptable. We as taxpayers want action now. Let Samra do the job she was hired to do. We need fresh ideas to save us money. Previously we had waste and cost overruns.
