Regarding this story -
Councillors differ on need for new stadium in the Chronicle Herald, I can understand that Councillor Outhit is taking a practical approach but how can he say that considering a stadium that majority of residents in the HRM are in favour of, is getting carried away? In that case, there are people who have been getting carried away for the past 30 years (and nothing has happened - so is he implying that the wishes of the majority are unimportant?). Although commuter rail is important, I don't see a majority of HRM residents requesting commuter rail to Bedford. Most HRM residents' lives don't revolve around Bedford!
Luckily there are many councillors in the HRM who understand why a stadium is an exciting concept to the majority of residents. It just has to be done economically in a phased approach so that it will be a benefit to HRM residents instead of a burden.
PS: Question: When you read the comments to this story -
http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1216216.html#comment-17543 - how many of the people who are opposed sound like the same person using various usernames? It is also interesting that Bruce D didn't post a comment.
