Your City Hall was a ghost town this week. Why?

Your City Hall was a ghost town this week

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

Right, so if you blinked, you might've missed City Hall this week, eh? It was quieter than a Sunday morning down on Water Street. We saw almost no new civic data come in, which, I'll tell you what, always puts me on edge. When things are *too* calm, it usually means something's brewing under the surface, or someone's just not keen on sharing.

### What We Did See

Mostly, we were tracking the weather, right? And Mother Nature certainly kept us on our toes.

* Monday started off quiet, almost unnervingly so. * Tuesday brought us a "special weather statement" that felt more like a full-blown storm, making commutes a real mess. * Wednesday just piled on with more rain and wind warnings.

It felt like the only action in the city was coming from the skies, not from those desks up on Charlotte Street. It’s enough to make you wonder if everyone just decided to work from home and forgot to tell us.

### The Local Angle

This silence from City Hall? It's not just a slow news week. For a city like Saint John, with so much on the go — infrastructure projects, new developments, never mind the usual political back-and-forth — a week without much communication leaves folks wondering, right? Are we waiting on a big announcement? Or are they just holding their cards close to the vest?

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