How can the elected provincial MPP (Rick Johnson) and federal MP (Barry Devolin) stand by and allow $20 million of taxpayers' monies to be spent on a "water diversion project" that involves the piping of water from the village of Millbrook 12 kilometers away to a yet-to-be- built dream town called Fraserville (in Cavan-Monaghan Twp.) in order to satisfy a few developers, when more than 90% of the local citizens are opposed to it.
Also, there is little evidence, since no testing was conducted on local private wells during the August pump test, showing that pumping this vast amount of water from the wells in Millbrook will not induce contamination to local wells due to drawdown of the water table (shades of Walkerton?).
If Messrs. Devolin and Johnson are not concerned about our tax dollars and how they are spent, they should at least care about their constituents' health and safety and the environment of their riding.
