A recent Auditor General's report slammed the Liberal government's cost-cutting shift to privatized winter road maintenance. It said, in some cases, it took up to five hours longer to clear roads between 2009 and 2014, putting motorists at greater risk.

County officials are also hoping to get a status report on the decades-old proposed widening of a dangerous section of Hwy. 40 in Sarnia.
