Hey there, CherishTheChildren.Great attitude about that never giving up stuff. I agree I'd rather get down in the trenches too. Over here's there's a lot of Down and very little up. Only thing I've seen "rise UP" of late, I immediately want to FLUSH DOWN.I like your "Love Light". Sunlight, they say, disinfects. Maybe one day....

There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back.

from the same source:"The agreement also phases out five days off that were previously given in lieu of overtime, replacing them with overtime compensation at time-and-a-half for extra hours worked, to be given in cash and/or time by mutual consent.""Our investigators, intake officers, administrative and other staff work hard to help the people of Ontario," said Ombudsman Andre Marin. "I'm pleased to have an agreement that ensures they are fairly and properly recognized for that work."

Hi there, from, "Ombudsman and union reach agreement""The new agreement includes an immediate pay raise of 3.5% retroactive to April 1, 2007, another 3.5% effective April 1, 2008, plus 3.5% in each of the next two years. It also enhances health and drug benefits...Effective immediately, the Ombudsman staff work week will increase from 35 hours to 36.25 hours, the same as the Ontario Public Service standard. (please see next message)

Final point.The bad news, CherishTheChildren, is that so many Ontario MPP's were former mayors and councillors before they became MPP's....so they know what the Ontario Ombudsman would find if they ever opened Municipalities (MUSH sector) up to Ombudsman-Oversight.Take home message? You still can't give up!

Hi again CherishTheChildren. What you need to know if you don't right now is that many municipalities are public corporations. Council is to DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CORPORATION. Operate in the INTERESTS of the CORPORATION. And that isn't near the same thing as acting on behalf of citizens and yes, children.It's because mayor and councillors work on behalf of The CORPORATION that citizens are in desperate need of Provincial oversight into municipalities. Desperate desperate need.

Hi again,Actually, you (we) may be The People but believe me, we don't have a voice. You may be fighting for improvements in Children's Aid Societies but the reality is that many of these organizations are cloaked in, what the Ontario Ombudsman refers to as a "zone of immunity". Municipalities in Ontario have lobbied for legislation to give them power-power-power along with illusions of "transparency" and "accountability". Here's the problem. Most municipalities are CORPORATIONS. (next)
