Welland water may only cost $1.87 more per year

Councilor Grenier is quoted as follows; " A letter published in the Tribune Tuesday stating there is such na surplus was " Totally Wrong". Councilor prove Mr. Kovacs is wrong. For the past 4 to 5 years the city has consistently criticized Mr. Kovacs water/sewer analysis as being wrong where as Mr. Kovacs has invited those criticizers to sit down with him and compare figures used by both parties. The city declines. The point to be made is a known fact both parties use the identical material to arrive at their statistics provide by the Region and the city treasurer. To resolve this disagreement sit down and compare notes and make sure one compares apples with apples and not apples with oranges. I understand both gentlemen are economists and I know for sure Mr. Kovacs has a degree in economics. Mr. Kovacs has often said over the years show me where I am wrong and I will make a public apology. I guess the immediate question to ask is " WHY" ?
Councilor Grenier has also declared the industrial rates Mr. Kovacs suggest are wrong therefore for the best interest of all reveal what the industrial rate is that is presently charged by the city vs. the cost of same levied by the Region.
The bottom line is "Don't make comments without proof to support the comments"

Mr. Kovac's expertise in economics over Mr. Grenier's opinion is what the problem is. Hopefully the new Mayor and council will put the past defesiveness aside and actually listen to the experts. ( Heck...a councillor that cannot keep a job does not have my confidence) Who voted him back in anyway??
