Just who are the sources? All her sources are anonymous, either non-existent or one of a pair of town councillors with great political axes to grind and who seem compelled to provide just enough information to validate the author’s delusions.

There was no citizen outcry. One Jarvis Street landlord who rents space to charities was upset and threatened a lawsuit and he lives in Niagara Falls. Other complaints came from the usual bunch of bridge baiters who stand to make a lot of money from a new bridge that would bisect Fort Erie.

I’d like to see some proof that “The PBA’s past practice of “donating” to various causes and charities has also come under scrutiny to the point that it has been banned from certain “gifts” to groups.” I’d like to see proof that the building is not environmentally sound. I’d like to see proof that the building required $2 million refurbishment. I’d like to see proof that local charities somehow will benefit from now having to rent office space at market rates.

And most of all, I’d like the anonymous sources to step up so we know where they’re coming from — transparency works both ways.
