OrilliaMatters welcomes letters to the editor at [email protected]. Please include your daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter is in response to a story about mayoral candidate Mason Ainsworth’s claims of threats and a bribery attempt, published Sept. 29.
*************************
What is happening to our nice City of Orillia?

Mr. Ainsworth makes allegations against our outgoing city council. Now he makes allegations against his competitors for the mayor’s job.

Does he think we want American-style electioneering, where they resort to negative electioneering?

We deserve a mayor who will do a good job for the City of Orillia, not a mayor who is going to make accusations when things don’t go his way.

Ian Richards
Orillia
