Ward Karhiio Counsellor Keren Tang comments on an anonymous letter sent to Alberta's minister of Municipal Affairs in late March. Premier Smith commented on the letter from a "concerned citizen" at a March 27th news conference even though she never read it. The "concerned citizen's" letter raised a concern about Counsellor Tang and her husband's technology organization leasing land from the City in the Edmonton Research Park. Although he did not mention the term, I think the "concerned citizen" was referring to a conflict of interest and that's what Counsellor Tang addressed in her comments.
Below is the link to Keren Tang's April edition of the Ward Karhiio newsletter. In this newsletter Karen lists a public meeting on Saturday, April 20th and her contact information, both of which are relevant in light of councils proposed property tax increase.
Hello Ward Karhiio,It has been a busy Summer! I hope you are taking some time to rest and recharge. Besides some time spent visiting families, I have been focusing on learning more about our public services through hands-on learning experiences these last few months, with various ride-alongs. My team and I are also focused on bringing the many excellent Community-Based Budgeting proposals into Ward Karhiio (exciting announcement coming soon), and taking stock of our priorities and key issues in the community as we gear up for a busy Fall Council schedule and budget.In the meantime, I hope to see you out in the community at the various #YEG festivals and events this month (check them out here)!Stay safe and healthy, Keren
A total of 18 project submissions for the 2nd year of Community-Based Budgeting project were received. The public is invited to listen to the pitches, provide feedback and eventually have the say in what projects receive funding.
Although I don't agree with everything councillor Keren Tang stands for I do appreciate her communications through monthly newsletters, community workshops and coffee chats and her responses to emails.
