Re: Mayor Gutowski

Our Frontenac County councillors have accomplished nothing. What vision do these County councillors have? Progress or privilege?

I see a group of old grey haired balding men wanting to have the title of warden on their lapel and their tombstone so badly they act like school yard bullies, choosing sides, following the pack, and neglecting the duties of their office. They direct their venom towards a woman warden who has read the bylaw and followed its directions. Progress or privilege?

How backwards is Frontenac County? Is it like other counties in the Province? Does it have a regional road system, a seniors nursing home or a County Office in the County. No! The county is in a organizational mess! They need goals and objectives! Why is the council not debating the merits and faults of the County plan. What vision do they have?

County council does not work as a team. They do not respect their bylaws, their fellow councillors and their employees. You have read it in these newspapers. Compare Frontenac County to all other Ontario counties. Is it progress or privilege?

In Frontenac, we want a future. Politicians, who do not follow the pack! We want a vision that carries us there.

Will we settle for progress or privilege?

Re: Mayor Gutowski

Never mind all the florid rhetoric damning the county warden for everything that is wrong with county in-fighting and failures to launch, the story is very simple. A bunch of boys and one lady were in a special club. The boys decided to gang up on the lady. Like the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, "they awakened a sleeping dragon and filled it with a terrible resolve". They messed with the wrong person, and they were made to look like spoiled brats. They started it, they lost it, she wins. And leaves when she wants to! Way to go girl!!
