City council’s Feb. 3 budget meeting left me extremely disappointed.
Locomotive No. 17 will be moved to Smiths Falls at the cost of $50,000 (which the City of Cornwall will be paying – instead of using these funds to refurbish and move the locomotive within our own city).
Coun. Elaine MacDonald made some comments suggesting no volunteers or groups came forward to fundraise for the locomotive, and I would like to respond to her claims.
How in the world could anyone be expected to come forward to help, when our own council did not know the fate of the locomotive? I would note a local business who can and was willing to refurbish the train within the original estimated budget came forward to help, and was quickly dismissed.
