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.

Is the change progress?
As everyone knows, King is growing and that often drives change. As Council member one of the more difficult issues I deal with is deciding whether the change is is really required. Will it deliver benefits? Is it worth the expenditure? When does it need to be done, if ever? This is demonstrated in the Staff report regarding upgrade options for 19th SDRD from Hwy 27 to Rebellion Way. There...
