When these types of decisions are made unilaterally by a city council employed by the citizens of Nanaimo, I believe it breeds not only contempt but also apathy, as people feel powerless to change the course set out by our city representatives.

And I agree fully with Mr, Taylor's assertion that apathy exists regarding not only local politics, but in our entire political system. That is where change must begin.
