Dear Editor:
For the first time in 10 provincial campaigns, Ted Arnott’s name is not on the ballot in this election, incredible!
Throughout his years as the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Wellington, then Wellington-Halton Hills, Ted always put his constituents and the best interests of this riding first.
As our representative at Queen’s Park, his commitment to advocate remained unchanged, whether serving in government, in opposition, or most recently as the 42nd Speaker of the Ontario Legislature.
If you had a question and Ted didn’t have the answer, assisted by his dedicated staff he found someone who could get the answer, and whenever possible arranged a meeting or introduction.
Unlike most politicians he never evaded answering a question. Ted always made himself available to help and consistently put his most earnest effort forward on our behalf.
To his wife Lisa, and their three sons, thank you for sharing Ted with all of us for the past 35 years. Ted, as our retiring MPP, your community is grateful for all you have done to represent us so well. All the best!
Ross McKenzie,
Inverhaugh
