I’m just getting ready to head out to the Milton Sports Centre for the information session on the proposed Pristine Power situation. This “town hall” like meeting is being held and organized by Rick Day, one of our current councillors for Ward One.
I would like to congratulate him on getting this all arranged on such short notice. I do have some concerns that this is the first town hall meeting in quite some time. Its sad that its taken an issue like this to get things going…better late than never. All I can say to you is that if elected, these town hall meetings will be a regular occurance and it wont take something as huge as the power plant issue to get it done.
I will be like many of you in Ward One. I will be there to get some more information on what is being planned, and the possible ramifications on what has transpired in the last couple of weeks.
What will the affect of the town council motion to oppose this proposal do? Is there something that Milton town council could have done differently and got the same result? Has that left the Town of Milton exposed to a potential lawsuit? What does the passing of Bill 51 do to the process for these plants? Will there be more banana’s available?
Lets hope we can get some answers to these questions and more in the next while. For those of you who cant make it tonight, I will be posting some opinions and information from tonights meeting.
I hope the room can handle a 500 lb gorilla or two…
