Saint John City Hall is too quiet. What are they hiding?

Your City Hall has been *too* quiet this week.

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

I'll tell you what, it's been a real "wait and see" kind of week down at City Hall, and that usually makes me a bit antsy, right? We've been watching the Saint John City Hall like a hawk this week, and the main takeaway is, well, not much is being said. And that's usually when you gotta worry.

### What We Weren't Told This Week

* There's been a noticeable lack of new civic data coming through. This means our open data portal, usually a decent pulse-check, seems to be a bit dry. * My antennae have been up, especially for those development permits. You always wonder if there's a new condo tower trying to sneak in and block another bit of the harbour view, right? * The general quietness suggests either everything's smooth sailing — unlikely, given the currents we usually navigate — or there's something simmering under the surface that they're just not ready to talk about.

It's got that feeling, right, like when the fog rolls in thick over the Bay of Fundy and you can't see the Reversing Falls for all the mist. You know it's there, but you can't quite make it out. We’ll keep our ears to the ground, though.

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
