To the editor of the Sudbury Star,

I am pleased to see the Denis St. Pierre has found a position in Toronto that fits his family situation but the Steelworkers gain is certainly going to be Sudbury's loss.

For years now, I have been of the opinion that the only voice I could trust about what was going on down at Tom Davies square was that of Mr. St. Pierre.  He doggedly pursued the facts, shining lights into places many elected officials and city staff would have preferred remain dark.  As a taxpayer, I appreciated his work keeping me informed how my tax dollars were being used (and abused).  The fact that he was able to do this in an objective manner without resorting to sensationalism or rumour-mongering is even more remarkable.

Denis, enjoy your new career.  You will be missed and your successor here will have big shoes to fill.
