The all candidates event was to be held on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 but has been cancelled. The Cobourg Taxpayers Association issued a press release this morning.
As we stated in the release, we believe it is important to get the issues out and to see where the candidates stand.
The CTA would like to thank everyone for coming to our Open House on May 23– especially the young people. Thank you to all the volunteers who made our event a success. Thanks to all who gave very generous donations. We would especially like to extend a warm welcome to our 20 new supporters.
CTA calls for major changes to Council remuneration. And Council kicks the can down the road
Update 5/25/2018:
Council on May 22, 2018 rejected the Ad-hoc Renumeration Committee’s proposed increase. Although not fully accepting Paul Pagnuelo’s recommendation of increasing Councillor’s salaries by 100%, a motion was passed to at least increase the Councillor salaries by a quarter of what Paul recommended.
On April 30, 2018, Council voted five to two in favour of a rezoning that allows for a school in New Amherst. Councillors Forrest Rowden and Suzanne Seguin were the only Councillors who truly represented the public by voting against the rezoning.
