I have to question the recent purchase of trucks from a St. Catharine's dealer particularly a brand not even made in our region nor in Eastern Ontario.
If I were in the shoes of those people who live in Welland that go to St. Catharin's, Oakville, and Oshawa to work for either Ford or GM I would be questioning why my tax dollars are going to a vehicle(CHRYSLER) whose manufacturer does not contribute one thing to the economy of Welland as do the workers from Welland at Ford and GM.
Yes there is a tender system which in most cases contains a clause stating the lowest tender does not necessarily have to be accepted.Out of loyalty to the local vehicle dealerships including Chyrsler why could the tender not be awarded to the local vehicle dealership taxpayers if the difference, if ever disclosed, were insignificant?
Were these points even discussed before voting to accept the low tender?
The point to be made is WHAT HAPPENED TO SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESS AND JOBS? Is this an example of moving in the right direction?
