Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

I am thrilled that the prework has been done to enable it to be opened as early as April 6 or 12 pending vaccine supply. As reviewed running this clinic will not cost the Township but indeed there have been some difficult choices made. Summer ice at Trisan or...
