INCUMBENTS ENGAGE IN POLISPEAK

Do you think that it's coincidence that all the current hot issues are on hold until after the election? Saturday's Woolwich Observer attempts to pin down all the candidates on their positions regarding Biogas and gravel pits. Not surprisingly the incumbents from Mayor Bill Strauss, former long time Councillor Pat McLean, Murray Martin, Mark Bauman and Ruby Weber are all wimping out and saying that it's too early, it's still in process, we don't have enough information etc. Pat McLean does the most waffling of this group by saying "Making decisions such as these without complete information is reckless." She then decides to be exactly that ie. reckless: "at this time and without that information I would vote no on these questions". On the other hand the following challengers are unequivocally clear as to their positions : Todd Cowan (Mayor), Jim David, Julie Anne Herteis, Allan Poffenroth, Bonnie Bryant, Eric Schwindt. Our current Council and Pat McLean are unashamedly pro business and industry even when it involves developments contrary to the interests and good of the majority of Woolwich residents. Please vote appropriately.
