Over 4,000 tickets issued in Orillia as speed cameras nab fast drivers
OrilliaMatters 28There were plenty of warnings and advanced notice that traffic cameras were coming. Saying you didn't know the cameras were live is an admission of guilt in my opinion. So you break the law when cameras aren't looking?

Did mayor blow the lid off CAO firing controversy with 'hypothetical' scenario?
OrilliaMatters 33Either in the hypothetical situation and the actual situation. It doesn't matter. It looks bad on the city.

City staff defend winter maintenance as complaints pile up
OrilliaMatters 28Obviously the policy needs to be changed. If we are waiting for a certain amount of snow to fall before roads are cleared and plow operators are just waiting, why not send them out to start the process? Also there should be plenty of time to remove snow banks during downtime if we are running 24/7 as they say.

BREAKING: City declares another significant weather event
OrilliaMatters 27Orillia needs to increase their snow budget. These aren't fluke occurrences anymore. This is the new norm. Seeing people walk on the roads and being close to being hit is scary.

OrilliaMatters 21Property taxes should be able to cover 20 tags a year per household. Removing that would be utterly ridiculous.

Trash talk: City looking to reduce waste, extend life of landfill
OrilliaMatters 15Honestly hiring a consultant was a waste of tax money. We are already prolonging our landfill by our reduced efforts. What more do they want? Likely see our tags reduced to 15 bags a year.

City to spend $6.6M to refurbish cooling system at Orillia rec centre
OrilliaMatters 14People are upset with the lack of tact used with other councillors by the Mayor. Not with the ruling.

COLUMN: Feeling the slow burn of a speeding ticket due to cameras
OrilliaMatters 10It's actually easy to avoid a ticket from these speed cameras. Go the speed limit. Its that easy. Stop complaining or making excuses. If everyone goes the speed limit the city doesn't make any money.

Renaming of annual Orillia lacrosse tournament sparks mixed emotions
OrilliaMatters 6Putting the Balkwills into a no win situation. If they said no to the name change, it would be a bad look on their part. The name request should have never been asked. Seems like it was forced upon.
