Asking questions is not interrogation

(Re: “Gospel Rock and other chairing challenges,” article, the Local, March 25)

Thank you, Councillor Annemarie De Andrade, for doing your job as a councillor representing the residents of Gibsons by asking hard questions and taking the time to “do your own research” to educate yourself on the matters before council.

Mayor Beamish, don’t you think the professional “staff” directors should show up to a council meeting prepared to answer all the questions on the matters before council? When the councillors are asking the directors questions, they are doing so on behalf of the residents of Gibsons, and we deserve a “straightforward answer.” Also, as a taxpayer, I personally want all the discussions to be out in the open.

David Hayward,

Gibsons
