6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed. September 4, 1985 etter He's shocked Dear Sir: I am shocked and ap- palled at the audacity of Scugog Township coun- cil"s treatment of the re- quest by Joel Aldred for information concerning the conflict of interest by the Mayor. It seems to me that to answer a ge- nuine request for infor- mation made by presen: tation to council and by letters with "received and filed the cor- respondence" is beyond belief, and is tantamount to dereliction of the man- date of the council It is difficult to believe that all of council has the same opinion, although the answer to the request was by resolution, | sincerely hope that some members of council were disgusted by the action. In view of the facts outlined, onesided as they may be - due to council's unwillingness to answer - I call for the resignation of the Mayor I am also writing to the Ontario Municipal Board for further investigation of the affairs of council and the Mayor's conflict of interest created while in office Sincerely, Colin I.

It nothing else, it will give the public a say one way or another, something which has been denied the people of Ontano since all three pro- vincial parties have the same position of support There are many questions about this issue which have yet to be tully answered Will there be enough money for both systems to maintain quality standards of education? Will there be equal access for non-Catholic teaching staff to a fully funded separate system? Will public fun- ding be extended to other denominational and private schools? How much of a further burden on the property tax payers of Ontarn»> will result from parallel systems of education" Critics of the funding proposal say these questions and others should be fully answered Also. the Metro Toronto School Board has laun- ched a court case to test the constitutional validity of the issue The case is yet to reach the courts They are asking for a delay in implementa- tion and further public discussion of all the poss ble ramifications for both systems of education in Ontano Putting the issue on the ballot for this November would be just one small part of what should be a lengthy. frank and full pubhc discus- sion on this sensitive and important issue Seagrave and Area News by Patty Williams With a week of cold wet weather behind us, but thankfully a gorgeous weekend for the Port Perry Fair, we're all set to get back into "school" routines (well some of us anyway).
