Re: PDI sale to Hydro One has gone too far to back out now: Therrien, Examiner, Jan. 21

I was disappointed to read that our new mayor believes the sale of Peterborough Distribution has gone too far to back out now.

One would think that - given the overwhelming opposition to the sale found in the 2016 survey on the matter and given Therrien's large margin of victory in an election where the sale itself was one of the major issues - the new council would at least vote on the issue.

Instead we're lead to believe that because the city had spent $3.46 million on legal fees, we can't turn back now. That argument is illogical. The $3.46 million is gone, whether the sale goes through or not.

For the sake of both democracy and clarity, council should hold a vote on the sale.
