Illegal Landfill and Pending Litigation Will Be Hot Topics at Ramara Council Meeting

Tonites monthly Council Meeting may turn out to be and expensive one for its' ratepayers.

An article in today's Orillia Packet and Times give details about the illegal dump site. I was first made aware of its' existence when Clr. Kahler, who represents Lagoon City, disclosed its' existence at the Longford Mills meeting earlier this month. It was apparent Kahler was taking heat from his constituents, fed up with the township turning a blind eye and taking no action to restrict access to the site. My immediate thoughts where about pending provincial fines and a big clean-up bill for Ramara's Ratepayers.

Yet another example of ineffective actions by the township of Ramara. If the township has knowingly looked the other way, their actions are negligent and possibly criminal. I would think now someone is going to have to pay the price, with their township job.

The other nasty on the agenda is the pending litigation relating to the NcNabb Drain. This is the poorly planned, poorly built, over-budget dysfunctional drain that the township now is looking for users along its route to pay the bills for the cost over-runs. Given pending litigation, I must conclude someone has told the township to go f@%k yourself. Good on you!

Unfortunately given it's pending litigation it will be discussed in camera, away from the publics prying eyes. To bad! I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this one.

Tonites meeting starts at 7:00pm, at the township's office in Brechin. Get there early, as seats go fast, and Ramara council is the funniest live theatre you'll ever see for free, (unless your a ratepayer, then it's a tragedy).
