Laidlaw not responsible for higher costs


I will only make two points in response to June MacIntyre’s letter in the Oct. 14 edition of the Sentinel.

A survey conducted and assessed by King Township staff in 2008 garnered 450 responses and approximately 55 per cent of those responding were against sewer installations in Nobleton. In the science of statistics, this is a very large response rate with corresponding reliability of results.

The council of King Township voted 4-3 to install sewers in about twothirds of Nobleton in September 2009. King Township council could easily have voted three or more years ago to install sewers in Nobleton, and I would have had as much influence over that decision as the one which occurred last month.

Contrary to Ms. MacIntyre’s claims, the increasing costs of this project are not something for which I can be blamed.

Jeff Laidlaw,

Councillor, Ward 2,
Township of King
