Teenager shocked by councillors’ mentality
However, this seems to have been ignored by city councillors because, under a public-private partnership, schools and clubs may be allocated only a fraction of the hours they have now. I went to the City Hall meeting recently and was shocked by the mentality of the councillors who seemed to think only of profit. Is there a need for financial profit in a community-based learning facility? Surely the public good is profit enough.
It was a shock to me as a 15-year-old to see how the committee functions. They kept the information on this merger a secret from the people it would most affect for as long as possible.
