Kemptville's feeling left out .... Several years after the Hwy 416 brought people and prosperity to town, the municipality is whining about (of all things).... too much growth. New arena, housing developments and that evil corporate satan Wal-Mart's coming to town (with the usual crying you hear ... haven't we heard all this before ???) .
"We also require provincial help because if we don't have the money to put the infrastructure in the ground, then we're going to have to slam the door on growth," Mayor Bill Gooch said in an interview.
"And I don't think the premier would want that to happen."
Sorry Kemptville, you've got all the help you're gonna get .... time for our turn at the taxpayer trough !!

Hmmm, I'm in Kemptville and you know what our rent and housing costs are comparable to Ottawa so yah we are making money but we don't have any. Go figure eh.
I just found it a tad ironic that on the day one newspaper runs a story about economic ruin in 2 towns 35 kms east & west of you, another runs a story about too much growth in little K-town. Goes to show you what a 4-laner will do.
"so yah we are making money but we don't have any. "
hehe.. that's the case for most of us poor saps, no matter where you live !!
Thanks for dropping in Sara ...
