Thanks to Councillors Ferguson and Clark for pushing back. Their concerns are well-placed.

This entire Pan Am project is out of control. Poor management of the file is now the established norm. I hope other Councillors, including my own Councillor (are your reading Mr. Farr?), will not allow themselves to be "managed" by Chris Murray and Bob Bratina.

While I'm on the topic of Pan Am, do we all realize that the now 2-year old Gore Master Plan WILL NOT be implemented before we invite the western hemisphere to visit Hamilton in 2015? If only for our own civic pride, we should be pushing for the implementation of the plan immediately. Instead, we have no plans underway for the Games other than rebuilding half a stadium and forcing a quick decision on placement and funding of the velodrome.

It's at times such as this when I'm fond of quoting Jan Carlson, past President of Scandinavian Airlines. "People judge the quality of our engine repair and maintenance by the coffee stains on the pull down tray tables." In other words, if you can't get the simple stuff under control, why should I believe you can manage the difficult stuff?

Why indeed.
