If we amalgamate the two police services, a new headquarters should be midway between us, to make it easier for the officers to travel back and forth and easier for citizens who need to go there.

Who knows, maybe someday we can convince the tightwads in Hamilton Twp. to dump the OPP and go with our brand new option.

Refreshing....absolutely refreshing! Finally, a comment about what would be a good series of objectives, rather than simply what is wrong or unsatisfactory so far.

It even suggests that you might want to consider an attempt at making such things happen in an official capacity, despite the convincing, in some quarters, that might entail.
