Keep the colour of our own Greyt County Grey please and thank you

Seems that the new council in Grey County needed the Y Factor Inc. from down south in metro T.O. to find our X Factor, that being the united voice of our own people and populist friendly politicians from the past, who still have the heart and soul of the county on their minds, deep within our very own wintry rural hinterland. As Howard Greig, a man of experience being the former Grey County warden in 1993 and 2000, Chatsworth Municipality mayor, Sullivan Township reeve, deputy and councillor since 1982, stated most appropriately at the inaugural meeting, poll the public on the popularity of the new logo over that of the old. By polling at the least, or by referendum at the most, Greig’s wise suggestion to hear the voice and vote accordingly rings true.

He is right, proving once again he has his finger on the pulse, where politics has been since the incorporation of the county and continues to be properly read and written locally by our lawmakers, with hope through a reversal of this decision, that it will remain our tradition politically.

The question remains, who knows Grey County better, those here at home who see a beautiful county, naturally blessed with a light blue big sky, bright green trees, deep blue waterways, auburn tanned valleys and ash grey mountains. Or, another Toronto made and approved edict to purposefully “Colour it your way”, perhaps an open invitation by those outside to start turning it fifty shades of grey. It may be their way, but at the end of the day, it is your choice, so please respect our voice.
