MLA Michelle Mungall asks about drinking water quality at Johnsons landing
Показать описание
Three years ago today residents of Johnsons Landing woke up to face the sad reality that their lives would never be the same after a mudslide tore through their community, leaving four dead and many homes destroyed. They've been rebuilding ever since, but they still don't have access to a permanent source of drinking water. They've asked the Minister of Communities to help, and she said no. However, she hasn't said no to the fake town of Jumbo, with no people and now no purpose. They get $300,000 per year, and it sits in a bank account doing nothing. The mayor and council even tried to give that money back, but the minister insisted that they keep it. Three years ago to Premier said that Johnsons Landing residents: "I pledge government's ongoing support as your community heals." More hallow words, and the Minister of Communities makes excuses as she turns her back on Johnsons Landing. Doesn't the minister not see that drinking water is more important than a fake town doing nothing?
