Wingham Free Press criticisms of North Huron council this week are completely unfounded.
They are saying that we have "abandoned fire contract negotiation". How can this be? There are no such negotiations going on. We have almost two years remaining on our current contract. There are no negotiations to abandon.
WFP saya that NH actions "guarantee that no compromise will be reached". To make a compromise you have to have two sides each with their own position and both sides have to search for a blending of the two positions to reach a situation agreeable to both. Morris-Turnberry keeps changing its position so that NH has no idea where M-T stands.
NH council was offended by the Mayor's criticism of us at the County Council meeting, but that is not why we cancelled the meeting (at least in my estimation). The Mayor is launching a campaign to develop a county-wide fire service, and although I think that is a very good idea, it is not something that we and M-T need to discuss.
Separate fire department, new fire board, county fire department? What are we discussing?
Wingham Free Press, why don't you present the whole picture instead of criticizing NH for issues manufactured by others?
WFP accuses North Huron of fabricating and denying facts. WFP is constantly making up things and we could never hope to keep up denying those so-called "facts". That's the kind of problem that gutter journalism creates.
