Editor: Re: Council Concerned Brookswood Aquifer is at risk (the Times, April 28).

Petrina Anason鈥檚 comments in the article are a bit concerning. If, in fact, she spoke those words, she said, 鈥渢he industrialization in the Southern Campbell Heights area has 鈥榥o benefit鈥� to the Township of 91原创, aside from some employment and that 鈥榯he potential is for the residents there to bear all the risks,鈥欌�� Petrina 鈥� (that is) very poor representation from a Township of 91原创 councillor.

The comment, 鈥渁side from some employment,鈥� may mean nothing to you, as you sit on a council position with guaranteed wages, benefits and pension from tax payer-funded money, but for those who are just trying to survive, those jobs mean everything in a province where poor employment and low wages have always been dismal.

Perhaps think twice before you dismiss people who are employed by those industries and really research the aquifer issue. Are the residents just blowing steam because their pastoral residences are being inhabited by commercial industry? Those employers provide jobs. There always needs to be a balance.
