Dear Editor:
There has been recent accusations as to the conduct of some members of Centre Wellington council. The accusers infer that all the councilors and the mayor should totally agree on all matters before them. Is this healthy? Shouldn’t each councilor put forth his or her own thoughts, views, and at times question the need and/ or cost of certain undertakings? Such questioning at times leads to a project being done at a lesser cost, or if not needed, not approved.
As taxpayers is this not what we expect from our local elected officials? Where there is an unhealthy existence within the ranks of Centre Wellington council, it exists in the complete agreement from three councilors (always the same three), towards anything the “go for the bundle” mayor favours.
This leads to less cost savings. We, the taxpayers, pay the price!
Don Kruger,
Fergus
