From the Niagara Falls Review:
Holding annual general meetings could help the Niagara Parks Commission regain the public’s confidence, a government report says. It’s an idea chairman Jim Williams said he pitched when consultants prepared the report in the spring.
“That would give the public an opportunity to pose whatever questions they would have. It would also give us a chance to say, ‘Here’s the year in review’ and the next couple of years in advance,” Williams said Monday, responding to the release of two full reports whose summaries had only been made public in September.
“I would love to get in front of an audience and say why we went ahead with the Maid of the Mist lease,” he said, referring to the controversial deal that put the commission under the government’s microscope for a year and a half.

I have challenged Mr. Williams to a public debate. Anywhere. Any time. This will give him the opportunity to “get in front of an audience” and attempt to defend the undefendable. He will be publicly embarrassed, so let’s set the date!
Preserve Our Parks has offered to hire a hall so Mr. Williams can explain his dereliction of duty and breach of trust to concerned citizens of Niagara. It would be great to have him on a panel along with Mr. Windsor and Bob Gale. Alternatively, perhaps Mr. Williams could publish his copy of the KPMG report on wrongdoing at NPC, with all the text that’s been censored out revealed. Will it happen? Will pigs fly?!
wow
