Dymond: In a recent issue of the Port Perry Star - I noted a letter from one of your subcribers. He expressed concern ahout the increasing cost of services for people, particularly Education at the community level and the effect all this had on our Real Property tax rates. I could not escape the feeling that your correspondent believed the "lo- cal representative in the Prov- incial Legislature" was not a- ware of these things or if he were aware of them he was not trying to do anything about them. The writer seemed sur- prised that the people did not flood the M.P.P. with letters expressing wide-spread conceérn. The local M.P.P. does know about these problems.
