The Reeve for the RM of Coldwell is happy that an MLA was elected for the government side once again from his area. Brian Sigfusson:

"Well we elected a member from the PCs for our area. So, that hopefully is good. I think Derek is a pretty good young lad. So, we can only look at positive things coming on there. I think he'd do well for us. But, you know what? It depends upon how much rope the boss let's him have."

Sigfusson notes the former MLA did well for the RM, and was a good listener even though he wasn't able to fulfill all their requests. He adds he feels the same level of comfort with Derek Johnson.

"Our MLA that was defeated worked well for us, too. So, people can have disagreements, but he was quite good at listening to what I asked. I won't say I got everything I asked, for but he listened. That's important. And I feel the same kind of level of comfort with Derek. Maybe the same thing. I shouldn't say it couldn't get better but I know it couldn't get worse."
