Building Mulmur upDear editor: These will be my final comments regarding the article in the Creemore Echo (Dec. 5th) covering the inaugural meeting of the Mulmur Township Council. I promise. Councillor Hawkins comments “I didn't offend anyone”. I think acting harshly toward an elected member of council is offensive, and severances on prime agricultural land is offensive to a food and water first activist, or the Provincial Policy Statement, maybe telling your fellow community peers or ratepayers to stop approaching council or they will be charged with harassment. These decisions made by council offend other people and their principles and expectations. The acclaimed Deputy Mayor would like to “build Mulmur up”. Hopefully she means the financial reserves. Because giving away a deviation road that hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent in battles to claim and prove that the road was public do not help the public purse. Rather than just give it away why not make a settlement whereby some money was received by the municipality for a sale of the land. We need our council to work in our best interest, not theirs. I see a newly constructed community notice board in Mansfield sit empty, yet there was a local public meeting to stop Arbour Farms, not posted, also, not posted on the board, the need and selection of a Source Water Protection Officer to protect the community wells of Mansfield. (The “returning 3” appointed the NVCA). Stay tuned... Jim Pendleton Old Silver Pen Mulmur Township |
