Vote just happened for step 1. Step 2 should be even easier than step 1 as now Regional Council has agreed with the people of Durham Region and thus all municipalities should follow their lead.
It passed 24 - 2 ( two no shows ) and one of those no-shows was our Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins the people of Whitby need to ask their Mayor why she was not there to vote.
The empty seat below belongs to Whitby Mayor Pat Perkins during the public deputations and of course before the vote. She magically appeared after the vote was recorded.
Before:
Opps there she is of course the vote was already recorded before she took her seat!
This again is the easiest vote the Municipal Councillors should ever have to make as they have been told which way to vote.

This saddens me to no end. I expect a Mayor to be in attendance for this crucial vote. All the other Mayors were there to vote, I respect a No vote more then not showing up. If she would have voted No then it still would have passed, if she would have voted Yes then I would hope she takes that Yes vote back to her Local Council.
What Whitby now has to be concerned about is that she could Vote No due to some strange reason and can't be accused of flip flopping because she did not vote today.
Thank you Scott for keeping me informed as a resident of Durham Region.
I will loose respect for any Councillor that voted Yes today then changes their mind at the Local Council ratification vote.
There could not be any "New Information" that could make a councillor change their mind and vote that is credible and not self serving.
Please let us know when you find out why she was not present for the Vote.
