Saint John City Hall went silent. What are they hiding?

Your City Hall has been too quiet this week.

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.

Right, so this past week down at City Hall has been quieter than the Reversing Falls at slack tide, and that's usually when you gotta worry. I'll tell you what, there's been no new civic data comin' through — the open data portal's either empty or down, and that's not exactly what you want to see when you're trying to keep an eye on things, eh?

It’s been a real "wait and see" kind of week. You start wonderin' what's not bein' said, or what's brewin' behind closed doors when the public reports go silent. It gives you that uneasy feeling, right?

* No new open data reports

* City Hall has been unusually quiet

* A 'wait and see' atmosphere

You want transparency from your city, especially when folks are tryin' to make ends meet down by the harbour or up in Millidgeville. A quiet City Hall means you gotta lean in closer, and we'll be here next week makin' sure we catch every whisper.

Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
