On June 6 Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece took some of his constituents’ concerns directly to the Ontario legislature.
His statement included comments from people who filled out his survey, which was part of the Newsletter he sent earlier this year to all constituents.
Pettapiece said, “The response was very positive, especially on the survey that people sent back by mail and online. Here’s just a sample of what people are saying.
“Kevin from St. Pauls writes, ‘We just want our governments to live within their means and pay the bills’.
“The most important issue to Joe from Listowel is, ‘Making sure that the province has a secure future’…
“More than 77% of respondents agreed that our communities need a greater say over the placement of industrial wind turbines. Thinking of their personal economic circumstances, 38% of respondents are not confident in the future, and that’s very troubling. Over 60% believe that the provincial government is in general on the wrong track.
“I am very pleased that so many of my constituents took time to respond with their ideas and concerns.”
In total, Pettapiece received almost 200 responses from Perth-Wellington constituents.
