@SteveDickerNL That’s true, although maybe the City could spare a scattered enforcement officer to enforce accessible parking spaces for wheelchair users. They issue an average of about one ticket per day for accessible parking in the entire City.
@JohnRiche They live in taxpayer-funded opulence with bureaucrats making close to $250K/yr while citizens make minimum wage, dodge potholes, and watch downtown turn into Gotham City.
@kristinaennis It’s part of a larger question of how we tackle social problems. Right now, there’s a heavy focus on subsidizing the salaries and administrative structures of community groups, which can be opaque in their financial disclosures.
@PaulASAP@Disability_WP@SSWB_GovNL@NLCODNL This was announced as $1,200 a year starting in 2025. Should be $2,400 in banks now plus various matching federal funds. But we’ll see a story about whether bologna tastes between with or without mustard on the news. Is there any real journalism left?
Take a listen to House SSWB Estimates last night around 7:22. Minister SSWB confirms no RDSP payments and no current timeframe to implement this promise to our vulnerable citizens.
@bmadorevocm Brian. Any ideas of why local media won’t runa story on a promise by govt to make $1200 RDSP payments to disabled people starting in 2025, and payments still haven’t been made?
