Regina City Hall is too quiet. What are they hiding?

Your City Hall is too quiet for comfort, eh?

Hey there, Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, on the Morning Wire. This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

It's been a week, eh? A real head-scratcher down at City Hall. Usually, there's a little bit of chatter, a few grumbles, maybe a new plan for the Brandt Centre or something about our lovely potholes on Broad Street. But this week? Mâmawihitowin has been quieter than a snow-covered prairie road in January.

**What's Not Happening?**

Honestly, the biggest news is the *lack* of news. It's been so quiet, you could hear a pin drop in the Council chambers.

* No new motions about the budget.

* No updates on infrastructure projects.

* Not even a peep about parking meter changes, which usually stir up some ruckus.

* It's like everyone packed up their bannock and went to the lake for the week.

It leaves you wondering, doesn't it? What's going on behind those closed doors when things are this hush-hush? Are they cooking up something big, or just enjoying a little peace and quiet before the spring thaw? Either way, it's a bit unsettling for us folks who like to know what our city leaders are up to.

For MiTL Sports Desk, I'm Darlene Chicken-Lawson. Keep it real, Regina.
