“We will be scrutinized by the public”

At the January council meeting, Lorrie Zinn said, “The garbage that Last Mountain Times has been reporting is incorrect, and she is providing for a negativity with the RM...As far as I’m concerned she’s been misrepresentation [sic] of our meetings”. Zinn has been the subject of several articles due to her behaviour in public meetings.

Zinn then asked CAO Rodney Audette about a phone call from a ratepayer. Audette said Cindy Fuchs raised concern that the Last Mountain Times’ reporting did not accurately reflect what was being discussed or the Council’s decisions. The Reeve added that Former Councillor Brent Smith had said the same thing in general to all Council members. Cindy Fuchs was in attendance at the October meeting of Council with her son Derek Fuchs. His offer to purchase an adjacent piece of Municipal Reserve (MR) land has been highly contentious with other ratepayers of Highwood Beach. Cindy Fuchs is also the sister of former Div. 4 Councillor Brent Smith. Zinn has been an advocate for the sale of the MR land to Derek Fuchs throughout the process.

Reeve Kirzinger asked Zinn if they should sue. Zinn proposed stopping the RM notices in the local newspaper and instead use the Davidson or Regina paper. Zinn said, “Yes the Regina paper is going to cost us a little bit but I’m done with this crap.”
