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.

Walk or Run for Southlake on April 26th
Once again I am joining King Marsh Muckers in the Run or Walk for Southlake on Saturday, April 26th. Mayor Pellegrini and other Council members are on the team too. You can still register to participate (although I believe it is too late to join the Marsh Muckers but I am not certain); and of course a donation would be wonderful.
