done, in 1974, we would flirt have. had
the lid blown off in 1980. With others I
can only speculate as to the reason for
this neglect, if it was neglect. But this
non -action tying in with the un-
willingness of Mr. McIntosh to call
together a public meeting in 1974,
even though urged by letter from
Toronto to deal with the unrest and
dissatisfaction, makes this "neglect"
look mighty suspicious. What do we
learn? Perhaps this, that the chickens
eventually do come home to roost.
As people, we need to learn, and if
we don't learn we will continue to pay
dearly, to present complaints and
issues in a proper manner to the
proper authorities at the proper time.
I became more and more amazed as I
listened to the evidence that none of
!tlthe bitchingn_c_k..,...sois•n
ever amounted to a
proper presentation to council. And
by proper I mean a written letter to
the township clerk requesting the
complaint or issue to be placed on
council's agenda. Apparently all the
noise and flapping around in 1974
never reached council in any proper
manner. What a hPautiful excuse to
•
i98ORAQ
ignore all that noise! This is exactly
what happened.
..And lastly, I hope that Council And
council members also learned the
valuable lesson to allow freedom, Of
opinion among its meMberS. The
apparent practice in council(s)
pressure to conform to majority
opinion is undemocratic to say U.
least, and at the worst smacks like an
inquisition board, And from here on
let council. members . who vote
negative on a particular issue requeSt
the chairperson to have their negative
vote recorded. Some years down the
road such a recording will makOa
difference in any OMB hearing or
court procedure. Besides that,
recording a negative vote is a coin -
mon practice and courkrsy in any
decently functioning glaternmental
body.
Ths_911113_hearing_oLOciolier_23,1.0_,
me was an education in many -ways. I
sincerely hope that it was a valuable
learning experience for all. In that,
case all the money and time and
energy spent in conflict on this ussue
from 1974 on need not be a total waste.
