City Hall feels too quiet this week, and that's usually bad news
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? For five straight days now, the Saint John open data portal has been a ghost town. Not a single new bit of civic data, no fresh reports, nothing. It’s like they closed up shop and went down to St. Martins for a quiet weekend, even though it’s still Wednesday.
### What's Up With No Data?
This isn't just about a slow news week, mind you. No new data means we're flying blind on things that matter to you, right? Like:
* How many building permits were issued? * Are those new parking initiatives in Uptown actually working? * What’s the latest on the potholes in Millidgeville?
It's all crickets. When the silence gets this loud, you start wondering what they *don't* want us to see, ou bien, what’s happening behind closed doors that they're not ready to spill. For a city that's always talking about transparency, this week feels like we're back in the fog.
It leaves you with more questions than answers, and that's never a good sign for the folks just trying to figure out what's what.
