In 2019, I wrote if we, like Orangeville, were to expect an accumulated savings of $58 million by 2036 by switching to OPP, I would have no objections. However, since we expect to save $9.65 million by 2036 by switching to Windsor, I have to question the decision and its impact on the town’s financial position for the next 2 decades.
