WHAT CITIZENS CAN DO 0 WRITE TO LEONA DOMBROWSKY, MPP. This is the single most important thing you can do. Ask Ms Dombrowsky to work with Donna Cansfield, Minister of Transportation, and support her in resolving the Ferry issue by supporting a Ferry "up-load" from Loyalist Township to the Ministry of Transportation, so that they can run it as they do the Wolfe Island and Glenora Ferry Services. Contrary to some recent rumours, we have been assured that up- loading would not affect job security. Similarly, there is no more reason in a new Provincial employment situation than in the current Municipal employment one to fear a strike by our friends and neighbours who work on the ferry. You can reach Ms Dombrowsky at: LEONA DOMBROWSKY OR ldombrowsky.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org 15 DAIRY AVENUE NAPANEE, ONTARIO K7R 1M4 Ms Dombrowsky's office is in regular contact with us, and has assured us that they have received several hundred of your letters, and that THE LETTERS MATTER! There has even been one letter from a child who has expressed concern. If you haven't got around to sending yours yet, please do it today! You can leave them at the General Store, fiom where they will be picked up and hand-delivered to Ms Dombrowsky. 0 WRITE TO LOYALIST TOWNSHIP COUNCIL. Ask Council to support the "up-load" from the Township to MTO. Tell Councilors What the 86% increase from 2001 to May 1, 2007 will mean to you and your family. Step outside the "silent majority" and let your voice be heard!
