Your City Hall was too quiet this week. What gives?

You really need to hear what's up at City Hall

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

Right, this week at Saint John City Hall? Quiet. Too quiet, if you ask me. We were all geared up, expecting some fresh civic data, some real meat-and-potatoes stuff to chew on. But no, the open data portal was emptier than my coffee cup on a Monday morning.

I'll tell you what, it makes you wonder, doesn't it? When the usual hum of City Hall goes silent, especially when we're all bracing for some wild Fundy weather, it feels a bit… off. We had some proper gales blowing through Saint John the other day, and that's usually when you want to know what the folks downtown are doing, right?

Here’s the skinny from this week:

* **No new civic data:** The portal was bare.

* **Weather warnings:** Environment Canada kept us on our toes with special statements.

* **City Hall quiet:** Not a peep, which is unusual for a typical week.

It leaves us Saint Johners with more questions than answers about what's happening behind those big doors on Charlotte Street.

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