February 9) There is one slight error in your above article. Town of Aurora Staff is and has always been the best in York Region. I have not ever once at any time “criticized planning staff” on the Festival issue or any issue. My comments are well documented that at all times I have held our Town Staff in highest regards. Whenever I call the Town, I always greet whomever I'm talking to and remind them they are the best! I have always complimented staff and I have always maintained Aurora has the best staff in York Region. While I have criticized Council and The Auroran many times, and perhaps continue to do so when needed, I have not once ever said one negative word about our Town Staff. Town Staff works under the direction of Council, thus I lay the blame where blame belongs; if any, with elected Council. Our Town Staff does excellent work. Council takes the credit for staff good work and when Council fails, they blame staff. As a businessman owner of my company, the buck stops with me. I protect my staff at all times, and I will always I protect the good people at Town of Aurora Staff.
