    Why does it take 1 year to process a building permit application in Burlington. When it takes 10 days in the other 449 Municipalities to get permission to build the exact same house. The problem I think is obvious. The solution is, be the same as the other municipalities. Efficient policies, cost and time effective regulations.That might attract the business community. The question is why did the new Mayor support theses silly policies and all the red tape that was introduced when she was a councilor? She didn’t listen then. What has changed. Her new quick and easy policies appear very suspect.
