Waste of taxpayer dollars
March 18, 2015 · 0 Comments
Dear editor:
Howdy, thanks to the folks that called or commented on my last letter. The general consensus is that a name change in Mulmur is a waste of time and money. It is change for the sake of change and a great display of arrogance. Our heritage was founded on the Township of Mulmur and all the history that comes with it. The Township of Mulmur incorporated in 1851, originally part of Simcoe County and then in 1881 became part of Dufferin County. “Much against the ratepayers will” Elmer Reid, 1981. We will always be referred to as a township, doesn’t matter it is a waste of our money to re-name it. Further, Mulmur Council has called a Saturday public meeting to discuss a senseless change whereby they and staff who attend will get paid. Yet we the public have no information or knowledge to the rationale. We shouldn’t even be discussing it. Please let your opinion be known in opposition to this senseless change. Don’t allow only a handful of new visionaries to change a significant piece of our heritage.
Some good news, Mulmur is using the community information board in Mansfield to the benefit of the community. Another positive improvement which I believe most Mulmur residents know, we now have a registered professional planner, congratulations. We look forward to new and professional approaches to site plan agreements and land use issues. More on Landowner matters to come.
