Here’s what you need to know about how to write one or the other in a way that will increase the odds it will be published. The StarPhoenix welcomes letters to the editor and opinion articles. I ask: Will he continue to spend more of our tax dollars unnecessarily? Hindley to explain, why, with today’s technology, these trips were deemed necessary. Therefore, I call on those involved including Mr. While our taxes go up, the cost of living increases and we struggle to make ends meet, these folks seem to find ways to spend our hard-earned tax dollars like money was going out of style. Party ministers, including Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley who is the current MLA for Swift Current, flew to northern Saskatchewan at a cost to taxpayers of $16,000.

What is the city planning to do with SaskTel Centre, mothball it? No one is telling. Is the consultant’s report simply written to provide support for council’s agenda to replace the current facilities, which are not obsolete? Both facilities are structurally sound.
In the March 3 Saskatoon StarPhoenix, the 2018 consultant’s report commissioned by the boards for SaskTel Centre and TCU Place concluded that “with both facilities starting to show their age, the report concluded it was a wiser use of money to replace the arena and convention centre rather than paying for upgrades and maintenance.” The decision by former city council, former mayor Cliff Wright and others to locate SaskTel Centre in its current location was crafted and approved for all the wrong reasons.Īt that time, the downtown location would have made sense, but the interferences and personal agendas by various people and an ineffective city council has now led to a new initiative of constructing a downtown arena/convention centre.
