The Mayor of Anna Regina says that the decision by the Region Two Regional Executive Officer (REO) Rupert Hopkinson not to attend a meeting to resolve the ongoing concerns over the drain he blocked at Cotton Field shows his disregard and disrespect for the town council.
Hopkinson was recently reprimanded by Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan over his decision to order the filling of a main drainage channel in front of the Department of Education at Cotton Field, without seeking permission or even consulting the council.
Additionally, the REO also faced criticism after he was seen on a video lambasting a councillor who questioned him about his authority to proceed with the project.
