A reversal needed for "this insanity"
Dear editor, Two things

1) The murf

Why weren't the taxpayers of Innisfil consulted about the name of the new MURF?

Why didn't anyone know the name of the new Recreation Center until it was announced in the local paper?

Isn't our money good enough? Whose paying for this center ? (for the next twenty years!) I was under the impression that is was us, the taxpayer.

Not that we don't love, admire and hold Mr. Cortellucci in high regard, especially in light of his valuable contribution. Thank you Mr. Cortellucci.

Nevertheless, we should have been consulted. Mr. Gord Wauchope's name should have been high on the list. No one has worked harder, no one has the cause of recreation for Innisfil's young more at heart than he.

2)The mail-in vote.

Why have four members of the present council chosen to appear as retrograde? To the general public, our present Council now has all the appearance of bumblers beyond belief! I refer of course, to the reversal of civic progress displayed by Council on August 9.

Our Deputy Mayor has stated that she has always been against mail-in voting. She says it should be traditional. You show up, you vote as did our forefathers "even if they had to travel by wagons".

She is concerned that in a patriarchal family, women will be told how to mark their mail in vote, even if they would wish to vote otherwise.

The obvious answer "then vote at the polling station on voting day." seems to have escaped notice.

I did not have the opportunity of a personal conversation with the other three.

There must be a reversal of this insanity. To re-address this issue, six of nine councillors must agree to revisit. At present we only have five. Will one of the four see reason?
