When Councillor Moore perceives irregularities over time in the City of Rossland's procurement/contracting/governance processes, she - almost single-handed - brings her concerns to City Council - nothing! - then the mayor - nothing! - then up/down/across City Hall - nothing! - and along the local and regional political food-chain - always nothing!
Resistance from all directions at once must often feel insurmountable - she persists!
Eventually - finally! - ending-up in the Auditor General for Local Governments Office which investigates and supports her observations to then publish a report for all to see. Court cases and tough recommendations are in the works - with those in charge of fair Rossland now shifting uncomfortably in their seats and attempting to do nice.
I admire Councillor Moore for her integrity - that taking precedence over political, economic, social smallish-town agendas - and getting on with her job. That's what it comes down to:
Kathy Moore is doing the job she was elected to do.
How Simple!/How difficult!
