Letters to the editor
New details emerged this week about former Premier Redford and her government’s abuse of government aircraft.
Frankly, these details are shocking. This government has set the ethical bar very low in this province. But the Auditor General’s findings send it even lower…. […]
This letter is addressed to ALL town residents. Do you feel like your street is often used as a race track and that many people are driving WAY over the speed limit? What can you do about it other than complaining to your neighbours, coffee partners or on Facebook with your friends?… […]
Since school let out, police have responded to well over 30 incidents of vandalism and property damage. These include: mailboxes tipped over, playgrounds wrecked, fires deliberately set, and spray-painting. These types of instances not only ruin our community, they also tie up police resources that could be better utilized dealing with actual emergency situations…. […]
Our first Council Coffee session was held June 25 on the topic of Morinville’s Photo Enforcement Program. The purpose was not to reopen the debate; it was to open our ears to what your vision for the program is moving forward… […]

Mayor, Town council and fellow Citizens of Morinville:
Before I begin with my comments on the Request for Proposal (RFP) going out to the Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) contractors I would like to acknowledge and praise Deputy Mayor Gord Putnam for asking for an addition to the proposal which was to include better “public interface and education” in the RFP.

At a recent Council meeting, Administration presented the Town’s 2014 First Quarter Statistics on photo radar tickets issued in Morinville.
Now those of you who have been following the photo radar saga in our community will remember that the recent ill-fated petition push was brought about because some residents, although not against photo radar per se, were against both the manner it was being employed as well as some of the locations receiving the most attention… […]

To the Mayor, Council, and fellow citizens
After attending the council meeting last night (13 May 2014), I have some concerns with regards to the review schedule presented to council by Mr. Schaefer. My biggest concern and one which should concern us all is no formal public consultation until after the enforcement contract is awarded.

The Morinville RCMP would like to advise its citizens that there have been a number of complaints recently of thefts from Motor Vehicles in Morinville and the surrounding area. In 2013 there were 137 complaints of theft from vehicles reported in the detachment area… […]
I would like to thank our Council for the Open House held on April 28th. It was good to see more people attending this and sharing their views. Also, I would like to thank the group who prepared the Feasibility Study as this document actually included nasty topics such as – ‘capital costs’; ‘operating costs’; ‘revenue generation’ ‘cost overruns or deficits’ and not just the community wants and desires….
