After the meeting, Leatherdale told OrilliaMatters he mistakenly cast his vote against the idea, but had intended to vote in favour of improving the current circle. He said he has discussed the error with city staff. SERIOUSLY??? WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT
Jeff Czetwerzuk clearly isn't seeking re-election or he would have signed it too! Cipolla and Leatherdale you two are shameful Orillia is in trouble already!!
This budget plan is appropriate. Cut where you can and fix the sewers and infrastructure. Ice storm is a prime example of how the city was caught with a fire and a one digester down. Huge issues for our sewers and potentially our water/. And stop hiring positions like the over glorified housing coordinator, the county has that under control, and lets look at the Leacock home and its huge financial; drain on our taxes.
Councillor Smith clearly likes to bend the rules her own way. Maybe she should spend more time in the City of Orillia rather than abroad in the US. She doesn't represent her ward well and appears antagonistic with one of Orillia largest labour employers, And her "lets shoot guns" within City limits to kill geese is another example of her total disconnect to the Sunshine city and the peaceful ways of Canadians. Very disappointed in her first two year run so far..
This will not fair well. Read up and educate yourselves. It’s gonna be a long two years till he’s gone. He will over ride council at every turn. His way or the highway. Only needs two councillors to get his way. Smith and Cipolla in his back pocket. Orillia. You are in trouble.
They simply do not do enough fundraising. NO municipal tax dollars paid by the tax payer should be used to support any non-profit. Tax payer money is for infrastructure end of story and Orillia needs lots of infrastructure improvements. Times are tough and donor fatigue is the new epidemic. Tyler, please report on what events they held and how much was raised in their last fiscal year please. Part of this story is missing and the taxpayers would like to know. Thank you
Let the Health Unit hire this person and come out of their budget. STOP spending Orillia tax payer dollars on Provincial issues. The Health Unit is full of People that could do this role.
OM airing grievances like its Facebook? Leads to business getting trashed, shame on the editors. The business has a policy, the consumer knew the policy. No story here. Shame on OM for allowing these comments. OM allows comments on one article and none of many others. Which is it OM all in or none because this is detrimental to folks during hard times as it is!
Great idea!! Do it at nite so you can count the hundreds of street lights out in the city!!! then count again in the day and count how many large piles of trees were never picked up... you got this Luke!
Partnership with University! yes all day long! Hmmm only if we had partnered with the YMCA or school board for the Rec Centre...finally some common sense!!
making progress...finally, BUT lots of confusion around this waitlist vs health connect waitlist and the city hiring 6 new doctors that are not attached to this Health team??? I'm confused Orillia Matters, can we get another story to clarify for the twenty two thousand of us with out a family doctor please
