Fewer airline points being collected by CBS councillors
The Shoreline | Vol. 31 No. 46 (January 30 2019)
There’s no freeze on travel as such, but members of Conception Bay South council appear be doing a lot less of it compared to some previous councils.
When Deputy Mayor Richard Murphy had council’s travel report tabled at council’s January 15 meeting, only two claims were on the register for the period June to December 2018. Both claims, for Ward 3 councillor Gerard Tilley and Mayor Terry French, related to the Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador Symposium held in Gander for four days last October.
Tilley’s claim amount to $1,344, while French’s was just short of $20 more at $1,363.80.
“Mayor French must have had an extra breakfast,” Murphy joked.
Both claims included the $475 per person registration fee that MNL charges delegates to its convention.
In related news, council also approved its annual member fees in MNL as well as in the Professional Municipal Administrators Association, which is affiliated to it, and to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The MNL and Professional Administrators Fee amounts to $18,491 this year, while the fee to the FCM costs $6,627. In both cases, the size of a municipality’s fee is based on its population.
Prior to the latest travel report, councillors incurred a total of $4,661 for travel in the period from January to June 2018. That included claims of $1,713 and $1,703 from councillor Christine Hand and Mayor French, respectively, for travel to Toronto to meet with representatives of Sportsnet to organize the town’s hosting of a nationally-televised curling tournament at CBS Arena in December. Councillor Cheryl Davis also filed a claim of $1,243 for travel to an MNL symposium in Gander in May. That amount included the delegate’s fee of $275.
Dear Mayor Terry French
From natural gas selling for $5/1,000 cubic feet this is mostly how to convert 26 cents / Liter of Natural gas and electrically convert them into 1 Octane gasoline, Jet Fuel! We can make use of Labradour electricity to electrically convert the natural gas into Octane gasoline, Jet Fuel, for 26 cents / Liter! The reason I’m sending this information to you is to support my idea which converts NfLb. reserves into low Carbon polluting Octane gasoline, Jet Fuel, from our already discovered Natural gas reserves into low Carbon polluting Octane gasoline! This idea will convert our already discovered Natural gas into Octane gasoline! We have great targets, not yet drilled, deeper below Hibernia and Hebron Offshore Oil Production Platforms!
I want to get this procedure patent protected!
Labadour River generated hydro-electricity electrolyses Hibernia’s and Hebron’s natural gas reserves to convert them into synthetic Octane gasoline or Jet Fuel that creates near the minimum of Carbon pollution! The gasoline we create has a ready demand for it in New York! It’s optimally great for NfLb’s economy! The electorate will show their appreciation come the next election.
