‘Petty politics’

Dear Editor:

RE: Centre Wellington grants emergency powers to CAO despite objections, April 9.

Things never change at 1 McDonald Square. A few weeks ago we had a dispute at the council meeting and here we go again, with the episode about the CAO.

I wasn’t aware we had elected a lawyer as a councilor to make recommendations to council on certain matters concerning the township.

I guess if you have a lawyer buddy write a letter for you to bump up your job it is okay with the mayor and his puppets.

I am surprised Neil Dunsmore has fallen into this trap.

Who is going to do the job if the CAO is sick or unable to complete the task?

We elected a council to do a job for us, no matter what happens, not some lawyer with an opinion.

The mayor needs to stop propping up his friends and get his fractured council working as a team for the good of the tax payers.

Stop the petty politics of us versus them.

Jay Alexander, Fergus
