I see where On David’s Blog
the French Canadians have made a request to the people of Century Village to
support Wi-Fi. Of course, they make no
mention of the fact that some of these people are living on a meager fixed
income and cannot afford an increase.
They have the arrogance to
ask us to help pay for their Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is not lacking in the village. It’s
available to anyone with the money to pay for it and they have it. If these Cercle des Bons Amis really want to
be our friends, let them keep their mouths shut and their wallets open.

Here is another view:
We do not disagree with the Wi-Fi initiative. We disagree with the rush to get it, we disagree with the unexplained total costs. we disagree with the lack of respect for the bid committee, we disagree that Monsieur President has decided-period-end of story and that is that! Everything else is irrelevant.
We disagree with the fact that there are only 2 bids both of which are so far apart that its likely they are not bidding on the same specs,
And is there a bid proposal spec with a required bid deposit?
All of these questions should be answered intelligently and then we can go on. There is no need for a rush to judgment.
The bid committee could of and would have seen to all of this.

DON'T KILL THE MESSENGER!
ReplyDeleteI received a call from a friend who felt the posting I placed on this blog from Lilliane might offend some of our French Residents. I told my friend that I was not in the business of kissing-ass to the French or any other group. I am only in the business of giving people a forum in which to express themselves freely.
Remember, the people who do not support Wi-Fi are barred from expressing themselves on David's blog, so naturally, they come to us for support.
