Dear Editor:
The library expansion fiasco was played out to the public as follows:
1. The Rimbey Review announces the town office has been sold to the library for $1.
2. The Rimbey Review publishes MLA Joe Anglin’s statement this is not financially smart and that living space for seniors is of a higher priority.
3. The Rimbey Review gives front page attention to the petition against the library expansion.
4. The Rimbey Review, week after week, publishes the tedious, negative, shortsighted, arrogant views of Dave Karroll.
5. Responding to the negative attention being portrayed in the Rimbey Review, town council decides to put the issue to a vote which is won by a special interest group.
I am disappointed in the Rimbey Review, disgusted by Joe Anglin and Dave Karroll, and have no confidence in our cowardly town council, which in the end, served only a special interest group and did nothing to act for the young, working families of this town — the very people who elected them.
A once in a lifetime opportunity to expand the library into an ideal location has been lost and this will only cost far more in the future.
Russell Bjornson
