In other words, you'd sell your mother to get it. Four new cops downtown, $450,000 on enforcement instead of treatments. No tax relief for non-profit organizations which bind the community together? I believe many cuts have been in Nanaimo on projects once OK'd to fund New Nanaimo Centre. This has become compulsive and obsessive to city fathers and now I see service clubs money gets cut to scrape more money to the NNC cause it needs a 'shot in the arm.'
