I get all my correspondence including bills from insurance,cable,power,provincial and federal government,bank,virtually everything sent to me by email as they all gave me that choice ever since the threat of elimination of mailmen a few years ago by PM Harper.I could still remain with paper in my mailbox if I wanted. Twice now in 2 years I chatted{email} with folks in CBRM billing about giving me the OPTION of getting my water and tax bill by email too but it was like talking to a wall.They seemed to prefer stuffing thousands of envelopes on a regular basis which is kinda odd in this day and age.Two weeks ago I tried again even cc'ing elected officials{including Clarke} but didn't even hear back.Time for these folks to get their act together.It's the 21st century.

Oh...Darn...I forgot to mention...This mess mayor Clarke is talking about was the responsibility of the former CAO/ACCOUNTANT Walsh,you know the same one that council gave a $440,000 plus benefits golden handshake to and the same one who let the credit card scandal happen under her nose.Your tax dollars at work.
