This Moosomin situation is not directly related to examples I know to be true and have exposed before; and which have caused all but a handful of readers to put on full blinders.
It is yet another glaring example of ratepayers and leadership colleagues condoning, aiding and abetting the wrong side.
It matters little whether nearly everyone is off side; or oblivious to their surroundings. Obvious wrong and improper decisions are obviously wrong
From experience I know that the Minister has no intention of becoming involved in the affairs of individual RM's. I mean how would that look to your own supporters of your provincial seats.
And why would any Municipal advisor jeopradise or complicate their upcoming retirement. Would it be worth it?
There are solutions. Run for election and effectively "jump into the water or in several cases more likely the cesspool".
Maybe thats why very few have any intention of ever serving publically. As you can see in Moosomin; and I know from personal experience; its a distinct possibility that a council positions must be deliberately vacated to distance oneself from those who don't understand roles and responsibilities, accountability and the meaning of representation and remaining in touch with the electorate.
The other workable option is to personally present the case to the courts. You will do that at your own cost and personal peril on many fronts; fought on both sides by your own money and taxes. That is not often done; and so is not a workable remedy.
.
And on every front you will be outnumbered because your resources and support from those coureageous andwilling to become involved will be be relatively slim.
Though you could probably prevail; this option is very seldom used.
All that it took to get to this state was to do nothing.
Quit bringing up either as a solution
And finally; you can see from the near total lack of response to exposing your municipal decisions; just how great the desire is to weigh in on the side of right and wrong you and other leaders and the general public will position themselves.
What message does this lack of support send to the former Moosomin reeve? Keep this up and one day the wrong sides will have entirely their own way.
Maybe the Municipal Affairs Minister needs to cause an investigation to be launched; and maybe the answer is simply to make sure that open public meetings are indeed OPEN and Transparent (eg. broadcast live)
Remember; this would probably/never have happened if Six (should have been a maximum of five) had to make that decision in the open.
