The Beachcomber in printing thin pieces on the Council and Credit Union has this critic at its beck and call. Chris Beck should criticize the Council instead of criticizing our civic lack. And the Beachcomber should have delved into the nuts and bolts of that $200,000 instead of just providing an excellent progress report.
While noting the good work of the council, Chris neglects mention of what it did not do when K2 went on the market. It did not entertain ideas from the public on how to convert this plant to making things for island use. Not to mention profound disinterest in the Council taking a stand on health care.
What’s the essential difference between a credit union and a bank? Knowing that banks don’t lend money, they create it, what’s the capital for? Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, but there is serious ignorance here about money, and it has the nation over a barrel. Fresh breeze needed, please.
The Beachcomber has inadvertently beckoned, and I have innocently answered the call.
