Degree of irresponsibility

Jock Dampier

Dear editor:
I would like to express my concern and disappointment over the recent vote by Fort Frances town council to withdraw their support for the construction of a new library.
Although I can only imagine the financial challenges council faces in their attempt to be fiscally responsible to their citizens today, they are showing a degree of irresponsibility to the citizens of tomorrow that only the future can judge.
As one of many who has donated funds for the new library, I am also concerned about the ultimate destination of those many thousands of dedicated dollars. Any use other than for the construction of a new library would be totally unacceptable.
If the town council sticks to their present decision, then it would seem only proper that all donated funds be returned to the donors.
Respectfully,
Jock Dampier
