12 Acton/Georgetown, Friday, May 11, 2007 Only one candidate fails to file municipal election expense report CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer All candidates in the November municipal election-- except for one municipal candidate-- filed their election spending reports before the April 16 deadline. Wards 1 and 2 public school board candidate Sean Haefner and Wards 3 & 4 public school board candidate Mike Parkhill and Ward 4 municipal candidate Kevin Duggan did not file statements before the March 31 deadline. However, Haefner and Parkhill met the April 16 deadline; Duggan did not. He now has until July 3 to make an application to the court to file the document. If a KEVIN statement were not DUGGAN filed, a person would be ineligible to run in the next municipal election. The Municipal Election Act 1996 imposes expense limits for each candidate and requirements to record all contributions and expenses including goods and services. In his successful re-election bid Mayor Rick Bonnette, with an allowable expense limit of $34,312, received $14,242 in contributions and spent $13,000-- the surplus was filed with the Town of Halton Hills.

($400), Greater Toronto Sewer and Watermain Construction Association ($750), Lawlor Company Marketing & Communications Ltd. ($742). A number of individuals also gave contributions over $100. His challenger, Robert Heaton, originally filed papers stating he had spent nothing on his camROBERT paign and had HEATON received no contributions. He then refiled documents before the April 16 deadline, stating his total campaign expenses of $5,000. However, Heaton still did not list who contributed that funding. Ward 1 Both councillors Jon Hurst and Michael O'Leary were acclaimed and both received and spent $100 each on their re-election bid-- equivalent to the nomination-filing fee.
