KITCHENER COUNCIL MESSES UP AGAIN




Today's Waterloo Region Record carries the following story titled "Neighbours needed a tough advocate". Luisa D'Amato is suggesting that Kitchener Council's "folding like a cheap suit" would not have happened if Willie Ferguson was still on Council. She mentions a couple of incidents where he stepped up and did whatever it took to embarrass Council members into doing the right thing. This latest incident with Kitchener Council revolves around another developer huffing and puffing and threatening to go to the Ontario Municipal Board if Council didn't give him a zone change to help his financial situation at the expense of the quiet enjoyment of the local residents' homes. The public once again got the pointed end of the stick while the well off developer/promoter has his way with Council. This is democracy when you don't have enough people on Council's who are there for the public's benefit.
