WUC/Enwin Looking for Legal Council


This was in Saturdays Windsor Star. Could it be that the WUC is circling the wagons to protect against ratepayers request for a full investigative audit? Or maybe they're going on the offensive.
What do you think?

Windsor-West Has Huge Opportunity in Lisa Lumley


It was only a matter of time. The WUC/Enwin 86% rate hike fiasco has now spilled over into the provincial arena. Both Sandra Pupatello and Dwight Duncan didn't just fan on the issue; they positioned themselves squarely in the camp of WUC/Enwin and the Windsor City Council. Without consulting or listening to their voting constituents who have wanted a full forensic audit from the Auditor Genereal of Ontario, they chose to pull favour for their chums on city council by going with what is now known as "Audit Light". This audit is only a financial audit and will not uncover anything which hasn't been divulged already. Council, and now these two provincial representatives, have gone out of their way to quash a full investigation. Until now, the only politician to date who wants to give the public what it wants is Alan Halberstadt but he has been literally wristlocked and blackballed by the rest of his colleagues.

Residents of the Windsor-West riding now have a voice in the matter. Lisa Lumley who is running against Sandra Pupatello in the current political election has recognized the public outcry over the WUC issue and has already held a press conference in which she demanded the full audit. See here:

In the mean time, a new citizens action group called "WeACT" (Windsor Association of Concerned Taxpayers) has already staged one press conference questioning conflict of interest issues amongst Council members who are connected to the WUC and they are also demanding a full investigative audit with appropriate terms of reference. WeACT is holding another press conference on Wednesday at the Junction. Blogger Chris Schnurr will be the speaker. Here are a couple of links for more background information:

2007 Monmouth Alley Party a Dismal Failure

Just kidding about the failure part. Anybody in attendance knows it went a little better than that.
This block party has been improving every year thanks to the dedicated volunteers who make it happen. Thanks goes out to Rob who did a spectacular job of designing and building the bar (bigger and better than ever). Thanks also goes out to the crew who took care of all logistics and details (Sarah, John, Marco, Laura, Rob, Liz, Rand, Jeff, to name a few). Thanks to all surrounding neighbours who let us use their garages, carports and drives for the event. Thanks to Les for the electrical and lighting and thanks to all of the neighbours who went out of their way to make all of the tasty culinary goodies. Special thanks to Rand for his help with the bar and for his help in cooking and carving up the roast beast. As usual he supplied electricity for the event (thanks to Harry for his electrical contribution as well) and Rand was also on the scene early for clean-up the next day. Special thanks also goes out to George for supplying the music and sound for the event.
What can be said? With neighbours like these, who needs best friends. Monmouth Road would also like to extend out thanks to the many guests we had from all over the place. You helped make our block party a true success.
P.S...A lot of cameras were clicking that night. If anybody wishes to contribute some pics please forward them to: MOMnews@hotmail.com
See you out there everyone!
