The mayor of Ritchot is thankful last month's civic election wasn't a repeat of 1995. Bob Stefaniuk says following that election there was a completely new council. This time only ward two has changed where Maurice Tallaire has taken over for Linda Morin. Stefaniuk says Morin spent 5 years on council and brought many skills to the position. He tells us Tallaire is a long time resident of the municipality and expects him to quickly become familiar with the issues. Stefaniuk says the big item on council's agenda in the coming months will be its ongoing federal court case involving expansion of the floodway.
