The BIG Picture

The following has been posted with the permission of the original author ...

Let’s stop for a moment and look at the big picture of what is going to happen in Cavan-Monaghan Township if the Council’s has it the way their plans are.


“The whole thing (-) about bringing water to Fraserville is for Kawartha Downs. That’s still our goal” Neil Cathcart said in his interview with Peterborough Examiner. Well, Kawartha Downs could drill their own well, build water treatment and sewage treatment plants, just like Sysco did. But the Slots owner has got much more ambitious plans – to expand slots, add casino, entertainment centre, golf club? Anything else? So we will have Las Vegas here. Do we want to be ruled by the overblown and overbuilt gambling facility? This council has no interest (or rather a very particular interest, it seems) or vision of what is going to be here in a few years – they would be gone by that time and the population of this Township and the surrounding area will be paying in whichever way for their ”wisdom”.

There is still time to stop the madness and hopefully more people here will take part in rejuvenating the politics and eventually vote wisely in the 2010 October elections.
