Pasuta to hold community meeting

Even before Flamborough councillor Margaret McCarthy organized last Wednesday's tax meeting, her rural counterpart, Robert Pasuta, was laying the groundwork for a public meeting in Ward 14. The meeting, to be held Thursday, June 19 at the Rockton Fairgrounds, will give residents an opportunity to hear from Mayor Fred Eisenberger, manager of finance Joe Rinaldo and public works general manager Scott Stewart. A question and answer period will follow.

"It'll be a community and information meeting," Pasuta said. Like last Wednesday's meeting, property tax concerns in the wake of council's recent decision on the Flamboro Slots revenues are expected to dominate discussions.

Expressing disappointment with some of the comments that arose at last week's meeting, Pasuta said he wants residents to know that he attended the forum and stayed until it was over. He was critical that protocol was not followed and that his presence and that of other councillors was not announced to the crowd.

He also said that his efforts to convince his council colleagues to reconsider their position on the slots revenue vote have been hampered by the tenor of the meeting that was sometimes marked by personal attacks. "It seems to me, it's built up more resistance. It's backed things up."

The June meeting will run from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Farm and Home Building.
