I was surprised with former mayor Jim
Gordon's recent comments regarding Sudbury MPP Rick
Bartolucci's work on four-laning Highway 69.
I would have thought he would have been happy
to finally see real work starting on the highway.
Can he really deny that Bartolucci has done
more in government (to push this project forward) than anyone
else has in living memory?
Partisan politics aside, one would be
hard-pressed to find anyone who works harder to represent this
community that Bartolucci.
Since before Christmas I have heard
Bartolucci announcing contracts going out for tender and
contracts being awarded. The former Tory government failed to
deliver even one inch of four-laning the highway between Parry
Sound and Sudbury.
I found Gordon's public musings to be built
not on facts and to be no more than an unfair and inaccurate
attack. He also seized on the opportunity to
beat his own drum. I think this is a case of
sour grapes.
