I am shocked that this Mayor even responded to my email in that fashion.<BR/><BR/>I have sent so far tonight about 250 individual emails. I am really wondering what it takes to get people involved. Signing a petition on line is the easiest thing to do. It is only day two of the petition, so we can only hope that this spreads across Ontario.<BR/><BR/>In order to really get the politicians interested, we need thousands of signatures.<BR/><BR/>So please pass this on! If you do nothing, that is exactly what will happen "Nothing!"Donna Pitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01938591277088755092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6169541274837140117.post-35067329186873555132008-01-19T20:27:00.000-08:002008-01-19T20:27:00.000-08:00The greed that we see from people in this world is...The greed that we see from people in this world is amazing. He won't sign the petition because he doesn't want to share his winfall with other communities even though their taxes also contributed to the winfall.<BR/><BR/>We need a politician in charge of this government that distributes the benefits of taxes to communities on a fair distribution system rather than political expediency. <BR/><BR/>That applies to all politicians. Remember when you are elected to lead the Province or the Country it is to equally represent all residents of the Province or Country not just those that elected you. Otherwise, you are not a leader.<BR/><BR/>Lisa ParentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6169541274837140117.post-66800365714275292862008-01-18T13:30:00.000-08:002008-01-18T13:30:00.000-08:00An update on the petition on line;I have been e-ma...An update on the petition on line;<BR/><BR/>I have been e-mailing Mayors in Ontario the Gas Tax petition, Thanks to Numberswatch, here is a response from the Mayor of Oshawa, at least he is honest. <BR/><BR/>Donna<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>----- Original Message ----- <BR/><BR/>From: John Gray <BR/>To: Donna Pitcher <BR/>Sent: Friday, January 18, 2008 3:15 PM<BR/>Subject: RE: Gas Tax on Line Petition<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oshawa receives gas tax funding and therefore it would be ill advised to dilute down our allocation by spreading it across a greater number of municipalities.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>John Gray<BR/><BR/>MayorDonna Pitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01938591277088755092noreply@blogger.com
