To the Editor:

Preserve Our Parks is so thankful to you for presenting to your readership on both sides of our border information about the Niagara Parks Commission and the situation with the Maid of the Mist dock lease that impacts the lives of taxpayers in both cities.

We marvel at how you have been able to hit the nail on the head in every story with factual data that invariably turns out to be true every time. You fill the void we have to suffer with here in Canada. We are at the mercy of the incompetent Review, which really refuses to fact check any crazy notion "dictated" to them by people, even though their goals and practices may be called into question.

Frank Parlato and the Niagara Falls Reporter have done more for the Ontario taxpayer than most will ever know, because by geography your publication is not available to them. Also because we have a provincial government and a parks commission that prefer to work in secret, abetted by a paper that refuses to challenge or verify.

Again, please accept our gratitude for a job well done. We realize there is so much more to uncover and we have faith you are up to the job.
