Home Newspaper of Halton Hills IliKfl THE- A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Street I tfi Ontario lilt HAM Publisher DAVID Mortising Region travesties one after other- sewer rates next Imagine the discouragement the sense of defeat and loss that might permeate municipal government in if the region most brilliantly shining example of collective and cooperative effort is suddenly trashed less than a year after its implementation We fail to see how any Oakville or Burlington regional councillor could derive satisfaction from against Halton equalized sewer rate system by which all four area municipalities in the region share roughly equal portions of the cost of sanitary sewer improvements in any given area Surely their latest attempt to have Halton switch back to its old system of letting each town collect its own revenues and pay its own way without help from neighbors is merely an election eve ploy designed to convince gullible voters that the people they elected last time around are still struggling on their behalf And to be sure it would be a relatively easy decision for any Burlington and Oak viUe voter to again back these councillors in the interest of saving a few dollars on next years sewer bills Most could probably care less about the region mandate The regions mandate as Mayor Pete warned colleagues at regional headquarters last week includes the directive from Ontario to share costs equally regional government was set up here largely so that the richer industrial south could share its wealth with the economically less fortunate north but councillors from the south still aren too region minded even six years after the regions creation Mayor citing of Bill the provincial legislation that formed region was a cool strong and apparently effective device to force south councillors to think twice about their ambition even though the final vote on a motion of deferral showed a scant one vote margin Ihe possibilities of a huge legal battle perhaps a prelude to some sort of contact civil war between the north and the south arc not that remote Hills appears to be on solid ground to challenge the region should council vote to revert back to its old sewer surcharge system Our appreciation goes to former rLgionai Morrow for again coming forward with strong reminders for the region advising it of its mandate as a regional council But imagine the discouragement should this prime example of regional solidarity collapse the official plan remains a source of some contention even after getting provincial approval the region treasury is in an uproar over the stunning deficit that nobody an garbage collection bins at north Haftons only remaining dump are a topic of debate while giant legal wrangles hold up first regional landfill site resource recovery Is nowhere in sight council still has not appointed a Medical Officer of Health to replace Joe Chamberlain who retired in spring anew business development director is needed following Bill Marshall s departure this month And on it goes one travesty of bureaucratic bungling after another We can fault Hills incumbents Mike Armstrong Ward or Roy Booth Ward for any specific shortcomings during the past term quite the contrary in several instances but we re alarmed that voters in those wards are so satisfied perhaps that theyll allow in the midst of furious con At least in Wards 1 and challengers will give incumbents Ed Wood and Miller a test and ratepayers will be polled for a vote of confidence or a vote of confidence as the names Whiting Branch and appear
