Dear Fellow King Residents,

On Monday October 25^th, you will have the power to steer King in a positive new direction by electing a new Mayor for our Township.

King needs renewal on council, and we need it in the Mayor’s chair more than ever. Margaret Black has lost the confidence and the trust of the majority of the Township’s residents for having abandoned us when we needed her most while she sought the Newmarket-Aurora federal Liberal nomination.

1) She failed to stand up for the Holland Marsh Growing Area from a Gas Fired Power Generating Plant – the crown jewel of King, the vegetable basket of North America, the place that puts healthy food on our tables.

2) And after telling everyone in 2006 that either King City or Nobleton would be the site of the new Township Recreation Facility, she not so coincidentally sent a 9.44 million dollar grant to Schomberg at the exact same time that she was rumoured as the Liberal candidate for Newmarket-Aurora – a nice little farewell gift to the home of her grass roots support over the last 15 years.

She’s let the majority of King down so badly that it would be just plain wrong for her to be handed the privilege to wear the chain of office again. And that’s the fear I have with 4 candidates running for Mayor. The reality is that this is a two horse race between Steve Pellegrini and Margaret Black. The others, with no disrespect intended, do not have the Township wide appeal to win this.

So to all those who now feel that change is needed, you won’t change anything if you vote for either of the other two. All you’re going to do is split your vote, and very likely hand the mayoralty back to Margaret Black.

But if you feel that a new direction is needed, then on October 25th, help me to ensure that every village and hamlet, every rural resident and every corner of King is fairly and respectfully represented in the future.

On Monday October 25^th lets all vote for Steve Pellegrini. It’s the only way to ensure your vote for change will make a difference.

Sincerely,

Cleve Mortelliti,

Councillor – Ward 1, Township of King
