MIDNIGHT DUMPING & UPCOMING SCOTT HAHN AUDIT

Well first of all the two subjects in the above headline are essentially unrelated except that they are both occurring here in Woolwich Township. The midnight dumping of toxic wastes was described in the Waterllo Region Record a couple of days ago in a story titled "Gallons of toxic waste dumped at sugar bush". My educated guess based upon the contents being diesel fuel and oily water and paint is that they may be from either a commercial auto body shop or even someone's backyard do it yourself car painting operation.

Regarding the Scott Hahn Audit, today's Waterloo Region Record carrys this story titled "Scott Hahn audit to get underway this month". We are advised that the Municipal Election Compliance Audit Committee (MECAC) will be meeting in the next couple of weeks in order to choose an Auditor. To date three proposals for audit services have been received by Woolwich Township. It is beyond impossible for the Auditor not to find errors and discrepancies in Mr. Hahn's original filing simply based upon the already agreed unreported expenses of brochures and signs. Other issues may also possibly come to light.
