M.P.P. SEES THE LIGHT

Last Saturday's Woolwich Observer carried the story of Lee-anna Pendergast's coming out. Apparently she's made the courageous decision that representing the clear wishes of her constituents trumps some gobbledygook nonsense about a conflict of interest. Personally I find her timing exquisite. She's apparently come on side with the residents group which is fighting the proposed Hunder Pit beside Conestogo. That is long overdue. The fact she is doing it now, after Woolwich citizens have sent a clear environmental agenda via the municipal election, is simply common sense political survival. Very few of the incumbents truly believed that Woolwich citizens would turf them over environmental issues. Lee-anna and the ex Councillors now know better.
