The Deputy Mayor of Lasalle is sticking up for the City of Windsor. Bill Varga is responding to comments made by Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara, who chastised city council for questioning the DRIC group and its border access route proposal. Varga says it's not helping anyone to go on the attack against another municipality. He thinks Windsor council has a right to voice an opinion.

LaSalle Deputy Mayor Bill Varga walked out of the annual chamber of commerce mayor's luncheon Wednesday, angered by what Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis had to say about LaSalle's proposed Laurier Parkway.

"I listened to the mayor, then he got to where he brought in the Laurier extension. I didn't want to listen to that. He made it sound like we were taking away from Windsor."
