Quoting Ron Higgins, Mayor, North Frontenac from his 23 page "Proposed Wind Turbines Position Paper":
"To evaluate this proposal we looked at the following;" Item number, "10. The wishes of all our residents"
Quoting Henry Hogg, Reeve, Addington Highlands from the Frontenac News article "No regrets over turbine decision – AH Reeve Henry Hogg": "When I look down the road at the long-term needs of Addington Highlands, I see this as a potential benefit if it goes ahead. Nothing I have heard has made me think any differently about it.”
I? An elected REPRESENTATIVE, a Reeve no less, who lives in the first person, does not bother to articulate his position, dismisses his constituents' efforts to make themselves heard, is apparently totally unmoved by Mayor Higgins' well-articulated position paper, knows that over 90 municipalities in rural Ontario are opposed to industrial scale wind turbines but was "not ready for what has happened"? Undoubtedly Napoleon was not ready for what happened at Waterloo either.
