April 30th Council Meeting - "Wakey-Wakey"

Tonite council heard the following concerns from Ratepayers:
1. A proposed medical waste sort facility on an adjacent 1st. Nation Property.
2. A quarry site operating outside of existing bylaw regulations.
3. An illegal fire and demolition on a former camp site.

All these events took place in Ward 1 and their representative Clr. Bill White made a passionate plea for the township to actively investigate these matters, given the potential for personal injury and possible environmental damage. "Let's find out how these events happened". "Let's find out how we can prevent their future occurance".
Sounds like continuous improvement to me. I can support that.

So what was the response from the rest of council. "We'll write a letter". That's it!! That's their response to crisis! I wonder if they have any idea where to address these letters? Yes ladies and gentlemen this is your township working to protect your interests.

The only time you'll see any kind of enthusiasm from this group, there either voting themselves a raise, or levying a new tax on ratepayers. Don't want to offend any potential investor, thinking of coming to Ramara, regardless if their actions my by potentially illegal.

When I left the meeting, I felt I had to comment on this council's lack of enthusiasm. Shame on you Ramara Council. I wish you let your constituents know of your lethargy, during the campaign! Wake up you clowns!! If your not up to the task, then resign.
