I read Coun. Judith Cullington’s letter and felt obligated to make the following observations.

Was this an admission that this person running for council did so without reading the financial reports that clearly indicated the reserve funds had been drained? This is a public record.

Even if they hadn’t read the report they could have asked their colleagues as four members of council, including Mayor Dave Saunders, had voted to deplete the fund in these so-called previous administrations. (Source: Minutes - committee of the whole, April, 30 2007.)

Lastly why would anyone get recognized for a solar program that cost $500,000 more than they told us and filling in a hole they dug us into.
