Dear Editor,

This is in reply to Scott Thompson鈥檚 letter [, March 8 Letters, 91原创 Advance].

Thompson鈥檚 opinions show no signs of any understanding or research and the lack of any valid/factual information appears to be of no concern to him.

His double standard and 鈥済rass is greener on the other side鈥� attitude is mind boggling.

On the one hand he is pleased that 鈥淢ayor (91原创 City) Ted Schaffer kept the room in good spirits with words of praise for the developer,鈥� but if Mayor Jack Froese (91原创 Township) were ever to do that, Mr. Thompson and his crowd would lash out at him.

No wonder Mr. Thompson sees doom and gloom at the Township鈥檚 meetings, because his anti-development crowd poison the atmosphere by encouraging councillors [Kim] Richter, [Petrina] Arnason and [David] Davies to oppose any and all development.

Mr. Thompson, who lives in Brookswood, is happy with development in neighbouring 91原创 City, but not in Brookswood.

Talk about NIMBYism.

Grant Ward, Murrayville
