Taxpayers in Sudbury are paying more taxes
and receiving less in return. That is what most Sudburians old
and young are telling me. Water, sewer and gas are just some of
the things people are complaining about.
One big thing that never seems to change is
the state of the sidewalks. The streets are foremost, they have
to be cleaned before the sidewalks. But what I cannot
understand is why does it take so long after a snowfall for the
sidewalks to be cleaned.
I bet if you go to where the mayor lives and
all the councillors, the streets and sidewalks are nicely
cleaned.
I would really like to know why it takes the
city workers so long to clean the sidewalks on Notre Dame hill.
It is one of the most walked streets in Sudbury. We have
elderly walking, people in electric wheelchairs, as well as
elderly with walkers. It's a disgrace.
We walkers have to walk on the street to try
to avoid traffic. All I'm asking is please give us what we pay
for, and stop trying to put everything under the rugs. The
people of Sudbury are watching every step the mayor and
councillors make.
Keep that in mind for the next municipal
election.
