In response to TBnewswatch story about last nights candidate forum....... Letter to source in respone to events centre Dear sir Thank you for the opportunity to clarify a comment, at Tuesday nights all candidate meeting. If we thought we needed a plebiscite we would have put one there, Ruberto said. Here is what the reporter failed to capture in the one sentence he quoted. In my reply to the question, I also stated: Would you want people voting on a 104 million dollar project that have not attended meetings? Never read any reports? Had no factual information? Or did not even care whether we have built or not build an Event Center, voting on this issue? The city conducted a survey on this issue, 10 % of the people surveyed, did not even know anything about an Events Center, never heard of it ...do you want them voting on this important issue? The Waterfront might not have gone forward if we had a plebiscite because early in the process there was so much misinformation out there misleading people into believing we were doomed if we went forward with this project. The same thing was happening here with the events center. We also ran out of time in April to get the Events Center on the plebiscite ballot for October. Hope this clarifies the issue.
