‘Be more accountable’

Dear Editor:

I have to wonder who is actually in charge of our beloved Centre Wellington and the county? Is it the taxpayers, town council or the township staff? Think it’s become more and more evident that it’s in fact the CAO.

It’s quite an empire being built on the taxpayers backs, always hiring, whether it be consultants, more staff or just finding more ways to spend! Don’t get me wrong, our services should not be cut and necessities should always be met, but to what end?

The area’s been constantly growing so of course some increases are expected, but so have the revenues being taken in. I think it’s time for our elected officials to take a hard look at where the money is going and be more accountable to the taxpayers.

Barry Wilson,
