On the serious side, in Brampton, they used to raise a barn in a day. Today, it seems, they need to raise a million dollars from taxpayers. Needless to say the battle on City Council has turned into a barn burner.
With a 6-5 vote, the motion by Councillor Jeff Bowman passed and the Historic Bovaird House is going to be getting a restored 600-square-foot Caledon barn on its site.
“Anyone who thinks spending a million taxpayer dollars on a 600-foot barn at the same time as small businesses and families are still reeling from the economic impacts of pandemic-related closures has misguided priorities,” said Mayor Patrick Brown. “We need to focus on protecting taxpayers, not pet projects.”
