Mr. Hegy’s pitch for a second term as councillor

Mr. Hegy’s pitch for a second term as councillor

By David Chawner 

He seems to have forgotten a few of his “accomplishments” –

-         “under my watch, County Council has moved forward in a very progressive,

positive manner” -- but it was HIS Council that refused to listen to the ratepayers and issued a statement that, in essence, said that they would build the ‘Taj Mahal’ where THEY wanted, when THEY wanted and pay for it however THEY could – regardless of any extra cost

-        council meetings that last about 15 minutes (because all of the discussions (that should be public) took place out of the public’s sight and Councillors only voted on ‘options 1, 2, or 3’- in  spite of the fact that the M.G.A. says that “all information that can be made public should be”

-        ‘Land-use’ and ‘R.V.’  bylaws that had to be taken back to square one – and some public consultation – after it was admitted that the R.V. bylaw had unintended consequences, it took 3 hours to rescind it

-        on-going ‘wars’ with municipalities within L.S.A.- see which ones have now contracted their Fire Services to someone other that L.S.A.

-        on-going legal action against Onoway Fire Dept. (costing both sides legal fees) – in spite of the  fact that Municipal Affairs instructed “make an agreement!”

-        as of 1^st.Jan.2014, total debt of in excess of $14 MILLION – without what’s been added since then (not just the $1.3 mill. they tried to imply) – did they ever tell YOU that???

-        declining to participate in a candidates’ forum but arranging for some-one to quietly drop off his campaign literature

-        not answering constituents questions (mine! - only about 1%)

and the list goes on … and on…and on!

            I dread to think how much more damage could be done in another 4 years.
