What right has Ms. Robb to discount the opinions of someone because they do not have a Port Perry address? It is time for all of you associated with this newspaper to widen your scope. My family and | also have a Sunderland address. However, my children go to school in Port Perry, we buy our food in Port Perry; and we use the professional services available in Port Perry. In short, we look to Port Perry for everything a town has to offer including the right to speak freely. How dare you attempt to deny ol discourage our in- volvement in the affairs of Port Perry because of our address. Do you not know how many people you offend with such ignorance"?
