Standardization Final

Mayor should stick to their guns by Ian Marston in The Review

Standardized Form:

2. Mayor should stop proposing for changing the name.
2. a. What is so wrong with the name Prescott and Russell any more than the names Ontario and Quebec?
3. His excuse is that people will get the name mixed up with the town of Prescott.
3. a. Mayor Jeanne Charlebois suggests changing the name to Vanier.
3. b. People will get mixed up with Vanier, Ottawa.
4. Seniors on fixed pensions cannot afford huge amounts of tax dollars spent on something that is not broken.
4. a. We have to more prudent with our spending because of the worldwide economy so uncertain for the unforeseeable future.
5. Streets need to be repaired and sidewalks too. That is what we should be spending the money on and not changing the name.

Therefore 1. Mayor should just keep the name of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell.
