ON GREEN BELT COUNCIL MEMBERS RESIGN IN PROTEST

 Half of the remaining members of Ontario's Greenbelt Council have followed their former chairman's lead by stepping down in protest of pending environmental reforms.

Six members, all appointed under the previous Liberal government, resigned from the council on Sunday in the wake of a similar move by former Conservative federal cabinet minister and Toronto mayor David Crombie.

Crombie's resignation notice said he was leaving the chairmanship in response to measures contained in the Progressive Conservatives' omnibus budget bill that he argues would gut key environmental protections.
