One of the (few) successes of Ramara Council was to make public the honey of a deal Casino Rama made with Ramara Tsp. ( a have not community), Simcoe County and the Province, to built a beauty of a road to and from Hwy 12 to the Casino. Unfortunately Ramara's council, in the beginning, never negotiated a deal for Casino funding to maintain this roadway.
The response from Innisfil Tsp. is typical for a have community, in Simcoe County. They have their cash cow, and they don't want to share. If that is their position then Innisfil should also keep their garbage, and not be allowed to send it to the Site 41 landfill. Fair is fair!
Ramara asked the government to intervene. Politely they said no. Will take our $0.20 of every dollar, and use it to buy votes in the GTA. Afterall these $$$ probably originate in the GTA anyways. The province told Ramara that there is nothing we can do. Your fight is with the Ramara First Nation.
There is a big difference between Georgian Downs in Innisfil, and Casino Rama. Casino Rama is located in a sovereign nation, an aboriginal first nation. Therefore Ramara Township had standing to effect the Casino's development. Georgian Downs, is not situated in sovereign territory, so Innisfil, with their ability to issue building permits, controlled how development proceeded. Big difference!
Until Innisfil has a change of heart on revenue sharing, all Ramarans should boycott Innisfil businesses. Let's send a message to those greedy bastards!
Keep of the fight Ramara Council..... Well done!
What about a toll get south of the Casino? $50.00 from every bus going north? $5.00 from every car?
