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.

Lots of Winners with the race tracks
When driving around beautiful King Township my gasps of pleasure at the sight of the rolling hills is seconded only by the pleasure of seeing beautiful horses grazing. I am neither “into horses,” nor do I gamble, but with the announcement by the Province to end the “Slots At Racetrack” program I am paying attention to both. If executed as announced, the impact on King is huge. Why is it...
