Misguided mayor?

Dear Editor:

I have been made aware of the intended building of about 600 homes in Hillsburgh.

I’m told that an independent consultant was paid over $300,000 for a report that is not yet complete (but took six years to produce) which councillors were given only six days to study and vote on (three of which were during a power outage).

Apparently Mayor Lou Maieron is trying to steamroll our other elected officials into approving a plan that is extremely important to every taxpayer in the Town of Erin.

I feel taxpayers should demand a meeting where the proposal can be thoroughly discussed - with the participation of all our elected officials.

Numerous newspaper articles regarding the antics of the mayor at the Credit Valley Conservation authority seem to indicate a style of operation that may not be in all our best interests.

Clearly the CVC board would like our town to substitute another candidate in his place so that they can get on with important issues.


Donald Morrison, ERIN
