Taxpayers win

Dear Mike:
And the winners are . . . the taxpayers of Fort Frances!
We have just participated in one of the most stimulating municipal elections that I recall in my 40 years as a resident of this town.
I personally thank those public-minded citizens who put their names on the ballot. It takes courage and commitment to promise to devote your time and effort to public service.
It takes a great deal of time to read and consider the issues that council faces each week. There also is a time commitment for various committees that make our town an attractive place to live.
It also is exciting to note that newcomers on council received the largest number of votes. It would seem that the voters are ready for new strategies for the challenges of the future of our town.
I trust that the openness and discussion of the affairs of our town that has begun, will continue.
The taxpayers are interested.
Sincerely,
Norma Carter
Fort Frances, Ont.
