Lawyers and Politicians

It was so nice of John Tamming to voice his opinion, once again, about the residents of Meaford, and all the whining. Whining about roads, snow removal, libraries, garbage disposal and the list goes on and on......

John is absolutely correct, there is a lot of whining or complaining going on, But as usual those people that have never had to work a day in their lives and never made less than $100,000 a year cannot fathom and do not care about the other part of the world that does not have a silver Spoon.

Lawyers and politicians are cut from the same cloth, and a good ratio politicians are lawyers.

Now "As I See It"

A few years ago I had the chance to be at a political debate prior to an election. A question was asked concerning low income and investments and saving for retirement. A very learned candidate, whom by the way was a Lawyer in Owen Sound said that there was no excuse for people not to have a retirement savings plan to support their retirement. I asked about single parents and families with incomes around $20,000, to which this learned lawyer told me he did not have time to waste on my question any further.

Who decided to amalgamate all these so called towns or municipalities we have today?

Who decided where to draw the lines of designation between municipalities?

How much money has been saved with this amalgamation and where has this money gone?

How is it possible to amalgamate and still have each area operating as a single unit? example: South Bruce Peninsula: Where is the town office? In Wiarton, but Wiarton is not a town anymore it is part of South Bruce Peninsula.

How can they have it both ways , both amalgation and individual towns? If single towns and townships were not cost efficient, what would be the difference now with all these towns and Townships still in place with one council ruling them all? The local governments could not handle the smaller areas- Now lets give them a larger area and more tax dollars to squander

Anyone with half a brain can accept the fact that the areas with the highest population, (The most votes) will get the best service, thus Wiarton Sauble Beach, Meaford (town) and the rest gets what is left over .

Moving on to library issues.

When our politicians put there heads together to decide how to designate who was with who and they decided to put Meaford, St Vincent, and Sydenham together , did they not realize that people living on Highway 6 and 10 East side would probably NOT do their shopping in "Meaford proper" so would require services from Owen Sound? Where they asleep at the wheel or just acting like lawyers and politician,when they hope or make a time frame beyond their term so someone else can deal with the issues that erupt later.

Lawyers stay in the court rooms ,God knows there enough screwed up laws that need rewritten, and you could deal with people with your intellect all day long.

Sorry Wait Don't Do That our country is already screwed up bad enough by Lawyers and Politicians all across this country.
