nothing to do with the regions deficits from previous years They the region arent going to say they are cutting roads main tenance because of the deficit But taxes went up per cent for the region and the level of service is down Sheldon observed She agreed Sideroad may not have high traffic counts as Miller said but Is one of the hilly and curvey in and that balances out the lack of traffic Miller noted Sheldon hadnt even called the region until August 13 five days after com plaining about the road at council Sheldon acknowledged this was true but the reason she called the region was because she hadnt heard back from the councillors She said she was quietly trying to have the road fixed by asking Miller about the matter for several weeks before raising It at council The regional councillor had said complaints were coming from residents mostly in all west of Highway Sheldon about the road have come from homeowners all along the road and it is In poor shape all the way east to Georgetown Also she noted residents live In the same region Miller represents as people in Hills We are seeing tangible results from the deficit now a service she declared Sheldon maintained Millers
