Editor: What a stunning display of democracy here in 91原创. More than 900 people voiced their opposition to the Coulter Berry proposal to work outside heritage guidelines in Fort 91原创. Six hundred of them were  actual Fort 91原创 residents.

The same residents attended two marathon nights of a public hearing with the mayor and council. Many voiced their opposition personally, and council was appearing to listen.

Yet when the vote came, only one councillor actually seemed to be listening.

Thank you, Councillor David Davis for listening. You will have our vote come next election,

It seems our collective voice didn鈥檛 matter to the others. I guess our vote won鈥檛 either.

This should have gone to a referendum, involving the residents of Fort 91原创 proper, those who have a Fort 91原创 home address. But then,no one seems to be listening anyways.

Dave and Kim McFadden,
