Who is "Saving Vaughan"?

To All Concerned Citizens of Vaughan, I apologize for not providing you with the face or name behind this movement. I assure you that it was not done intentionally and I honestly did not anticipate so much hesitation. My name is Nick Pinto and I am leading a group of fellow concerned citizens across the city of Vaughan. As stated in the previous post, due to the recent shocking revelations as to how our elected members of Council and Senior Staff have conducted the business of this city and for the way they’ve misused and mismanaged the taxpayer’s funds entrusted to them. These actions have tarnished the reputation of the City of Vaughan and have brought this great city much public humiliation. “Saving Vaughan” has kicked off a petition drive demanding that the Minister of Municipal Affairs (Mr. Jim Watson) perform a provincial audit of the city finances. And they’re hoping that you will put pen to action and do the right thing. “We have the power to change it NOW and we WILL!

The petition is available for all residents online at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/saving-vaughan.html. For those who would like to sign the petition in person please contact savingvaughan@gmail.com for further information on where you can sign the petition. If you would like to help with our effors and want to volunteer for signature collection please do not hesitate to contact us.
