nun-mm Bob Henry was grumbling about how the "media's buddy” was going to stretch the meeting longer than necessary. Then Aid. John Shortreed pointed out how Telegdi had not even bothered to find out the city solicitor’s position, the same lawyer who only two weeks ago refused to release his opinion for fear of reading about it in the afternoon paper. Telegdi was eventually heard, but his case (support- ed by two prominent lawyers) was wasted on deaf ears. With the exception of alder‘men Dorothy Schnarr, Lynne Woolstencroft and Brian Tumbull, his presenta- tion had little impact on council’s inner circle.Whether his fellow aldermen agree with his tactics or not, Telegdi had every right to speak and presented clear evidence that Waterloo’s agreement may very well be setting the city up for a massive lawsuit from one of its residents.

Andrew Telegdi fully expected his colleagues would be interested in finding out what he had learned. Grandstanding is one thing, but when a politician has done his homework, he deserves the courtesy of being heard. Unfortunately, as Monday's meeting of Waterloo City Council clearly illustrated, manners often taken a back seat in the political arena. It-rat-tare-toe-d-sat-ot.."
