In response to North Frontenac Mayor Ron Higgins and his dropping out of the Local MPP Race, and his potential of running for a third term as Mayor.
I have some comments, as a local resident and business owner. On August 15th, Council is meeting to vote on a motion aimed at reducing North Frontenac Council from 7 to 5 councilors. My message to Higgins and Council is clear: we need to Amalgamate with Central and South Frontenac, and get rid of Higgins and the Bloated Council for good! And Higgins wasn't even voted in last time, No-one ran for mayor or council. That was followed up by increases in property taxes and adding more staff in Plevna, during the Covid Pandemic. In addition to zero help for local businesses, from the dust collecting pencil pushers at the redundant Plevna Township Office.
This culture of irrelevance and incompetence needs change, in what is a blossoming region with immense potential.
This is a call to intelligent folks to run for Mayor and Council so we can make wholesale changes in October 2022.
