Advertising money wasted - Don Dugas

I am completely baffled once again by the continued lack of direction in city council's priorities. The city's new image (will) cost from $75,000 to $148,130 to $300,000 for the different stages of the campaign.

Comparing us to the "I love New York" campaign is ridiculous. How can we compare ourselves? We are at opposite ends of the scale. We are a small community.

Rather than spending this money to promote what we don't have, the city should invest in enhancing our existing attributes.

I believe council should not get ahead of itself. Councillor Janet Gasparini, in her own words says, "Nice roads are useless if there is no one to ride them."

Has she looked out her window to see how much these roads are being used?

We have a population of 150,000 in addition to other traffic that flows through our city.

Do nice roads matter? It means a lot more than promoting our community for something we do not have. Fix Sudbury before promoting it.
