Amalgamation
road; a bumpy one
The road to amalgamating the municipalities:
of Lucknow and'Kinlgss is still under construe-
tion. Both councils.' are encountering major
`potholes'in their attempt to construct a
`newly -paved road' at the end of which• will be a
new municipality under one administration: and
one council-
As
ouncilAs the two councils,individually and 'jointly,
travel the road;,-therare faced with corning up
with the right decision for the two municipali-
ties
unicipali-
ties .and, the ,ratepayers who have elected them
to office, •
'Detours' aro plenty as they, strive to find a,
plan that will be effective, economical, fair and
equitable for all residents: and ratepayers, and
ers,
P Y
yet continue to. provide accountable and
responsible local government.
On top of that, the 10 councillors now have
to contend with theprovince's mega bumps in •
the . road and at this point not lmowufg exactly
how that will filter. down to, the county and
municipal levels.
Major changes are coming for all of us„ This'
road to amalgamation will not be an easy
process as concerns about ,`territorial' 'rights,:
equal :representation andfairness' for ail are,
aired..
The province has decreed amalgamations
will take place. It is .surely .a Wise decision for
these two councils to make the 'trip'' with a► •
positive attitude, listening to the concerns of
each other, weighing the pros and cons but all
the, time keeping an open mind.. (PL)
