Re - futuristic plan

John Inglis, Councillor, Chair of NF Economic Development Task Force | Jul 19, 2017

Craig Bakay’s report in the July 13 News about NF Mayor Ron Higgins being “two months away from futuristic plan”, missed making one point very clear. This does NOT have the backing of North Frontenac Council. The Mayor brought these ideas to our June 30 meeting, where Council agreed that there was no problem with Ron Higgins independently researching a topic, and saying that he was a township Mayor working independently. Any Councillor can do the same. I myself have researched an energy-from-waste technology that I can’t seem to get much local interest in.

I was very surprised to see this in the Frontenac News. I don’t wish in any way to criticize our Mayor for looking into innovative ways to help this community prosper, but… to report it in the local paper like this is a mistake.  As far as I’m aware we are not two months away from a workable plan.
