Region of Waterloo to spend $150K on artwork for affordable housing buildings. I guess Region of Waterloo councillors and administration want this complex to stand out like a sore thumb. Have these people even considered the possibility that those who will be occupying these units might not appreciate the artwork?
It seems that the region has run out of things to throw our hard-earned property tax dollars at and is becoming desperate for new projects. To appease their desperation, its leaders have provided funds to the region’s public art advisory (which recommended the $150,000 artwork) so they can come up with new ideas.
The region is swimming in an ocean of our hard-earned property tax dollars and they are driven to spend every last drop of it, even if those on the receiving end may not want what the region is offering.
This is simply shameful. The Waterloo Region government has a spending problem, not a tax revenue problem.
