Plunkett Report urged adoption for Halton Peel reform

The Daily Journal-Record urges quick adoption of the Plunkett report on Halton and Peel regional government. It argues the plan ends a rural subsidy system, creates a two region split with rural Halton Peel and urban centers in charge, preserves place names, boosts efficiency, reduces red tape, and protects communities from Metrolink-like growth, while preserving local identities and improving coordination.
