Niagara needs a responsible government

Well, after the TVO show, we now know it is (Regional Chair Alan) Caslin’s goal to get rid of our cities and towns and become king of Niagara along with a few henchmen.

The region was not formed to take over everything, it was to help reduce costs on bulk purchasing, policing, water and sewers. Where is the cost reduction?

Mr. Caslin wants everything when it is clear he cannot even keep in line what his present job entails or its legal limits as he has broken and surpassed all.

The people of Niagara deserve a responsible government, not the present crap that is going on. How can he sleep at night involved in breach of municipal regulations, misuse of public funds and it goes on and on.

Niagara District Airport is not the Region’s responsibility but Mr. Caslin took a day to do (an) inaugural (commuter service) flight into Niagara and get the photoop to make it look like he did it. Hope it was a vacation day and he did not expense the travel to Toronto and back. How many times does he try to take the glory for hard work from our cities and towns that he should have nothing to do with.

I thank all the councillors who have tried to move forward and work for the people, but Mr. Caslin and his group of cronies deserve to be taken to court for misdirection, misuse and other inappropriate things they have been involved in.

Also, the paranoid group of (Tony) Quirk, (Sandy) Annunziata, (Brian) Baty and (David) Barrick who think the press is their enemy should remember the old saying: do not shoot the messenger. It is the actions of this group, the chair and a few others who are getting caught with their fingers in the cookie jar. Not the other way around. The press reports what happens after checking it multiple ways, so it would be nice if you guys could stand up and actually admit you’re wrongdoings instead of trying to blame others.

We need a responsible government, not a bunch of hacks.
