Dear Editor:
RE: Erin awards two wastewater plant contracts totalling over $52 million, July 14.
Wastewater treatment plant contracts awarded and councillor Mike Robins “twisted knickers”….
As usual another article on Erin’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the voluminous words that explains very little.
“To declare that there is no financial implication kind of makes me get my knickers in a twist, but I can live with it,” said councillor Mike Robins.
Well I for one could not go through a day with “twisted knickers” and for Robins to make such a benign statement without following up as to the “why” is typical of the entire process that we have endured throughout the past few years of the planning and now the awarding of contracts for the Erin WWTP.
What I’d like to see is Robins coming back and explaining exactly why he’s got concerns and will there be future financial commitments necessary, in addition to what we’ve already heard about from the local Erin taxpayers … Robins being a CA (now CPA) is the only one on council who understands a financial statement, and for him to have concerns should be a concern for all of us.
Brett Davis,
Erin
