This &#8220;mis-statement&#8221; is a crucial part of their current bullying of the Township and public.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past months and years, the proponent has demonstrated that they will not provide answers to our questions, accordingly, we respectfully request such an elevation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\n Mitchell Shnier, on behalf of SaveTheBalaFalls<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had been scheduled to present to the first working meeting of the current term of the Township of Muskoka Lakes Council.
