In your posting B, these quotes:
"With new mining sites scheduled to open in the coming years, there will be increased need for thoroughfares accommodating slurry trucks that travel on Lasalle Boulevard."
"This has caused major repairs annually and it's not only affecting the flow of traffic out, but it's also having an effect on our tax dollars"

RofF is too far from Sudbury to be an issue regarding trucks so they must mean trucks from other mines. But what I read from those quotes is that the concern is costs in times of recession.

They are penny wise and dollar foolish by not spending on infrastructures and their upkeep, as a consequence losing jobs and tax dollars that come with those jobs.

But what the heck, it is Sudbury and little to do with us. What matters is same kind of thinking when it comes to the Ring. Namely governments will not spend on things that will improve economy and generate tax dollars while, having Trudeau in mind, Feds will spend billions on native communities. Spending those same dollars on transportation infrastructures for those communities would enable them to improve their local water treatment plants etc. on thier own. Same goes for hype from natives about environmental damage vs jobs and lowered costs on just about everything.

It is all about priorities and their relative values. Ed.

p.s. Like that author, are many of us not just as gloomy about RofF?
