Warden tells tales about MPPs' behaviour By Bonnie Gropp Citizen editor Asked by county council at the June 3 meeting to share his views regarding a trip to Queen'S Park, warden Bill Dowson had a bit to say about manners. Dowson had been invited to attend the announcement of the provincial budget in Toronto by Huron-Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell. The behaviour of the provincial politicians, he said, "was totally unreasonable. If it happened in this chamber or any schoolroom..." Dowson said the problem came from both sides of the room, equally. but "the gentleman who presented it did an excellent job." The gallery was so unimpressed, said Dowson, that the western region wardens group is sending a letter of concern regarding the process and how it was handled.

It seems they get to Toronto and act like idiots, yelling and screaming. People ask a question they never get an answer."

The recommendation for county council Thursday was that the toilets be installed this year with further discussion taking place in fall. In speaking to the motion, South Huron councillor Rob Morley said, "Might I suggest that the next time we have this discussion there's lot of coffee in the room and we lock the door for three hours." Larry Adams, chief administrative officer, told councillors they would be pleased to know that he "saw the paperwork (for tenders) roll through the middle of last week."
