loud clear and persistent voice on behalf of Acton I ask for your support on Novemb er so that together we can continue to be proud to say I live in Actonl Choice about confience NORM ELLIOTT The position of a town councillor as I see is a twoelded responsibility alliens expect that their elected representative will be responsive to their concerns and be willing to communicate these concerns to the forum of local council Citizens assume on the other hand that the elected councillor will also demonstr ate initiatives of his or her own being mindful of the multitude of diverse problems that arise during a council s term Fiscal responsibility Is also expected In tbe election campaign of there are half a or so Important Issues currently of concern to residents of Ward One Acton Some are ongoing perhaps chronic concerns tbe tax disparity between wards or the perennial desire attract industry to Acton Others are new such as the Energy from Waste proposal The choice confronting voters is not one of which candidate champions these Issues Rather tbe choice down to a matter of voter confidence In the candidate most capable of representing tbe electorate and work ing effectively to deal with these issues My previous experience of three years on Acton Town Council and Planning Board my involvement for years on Halton Hills Library Board currently as Chairman and my employment experience of dealing with targe numbers of people in a service industry general insurance have provided me with a solid back ground for performing responslblll lies of a local councillor As a lifetime resident of Acton I feel that voters recognize my concerns about Actons place and future in Halton Hills are genuine I would like to be their choice to represent Acton at Council for the next years Acton needs to be heard GERALD RENNIE engaged In winning a position on tbe Council of the Town of Halton Hills as Area Councillor for Ward Acton Position statement major Issue confronting the councillors represent log Ward Actoo Is ensuring that Actoo people are beard and needed in the Town of Hills The town consisting as ft does of tbe large community of Georgetown and tbe much smaller community of Actoo WORKING TODAY FOR A PLANNED TOMORROW ELECT COOK COUNCILLOR WARD 4 COOK WARD 4 with all the tiny hamlet of the former Township is divided down the middle by tbe Niagara Escarp ment The two communities will never Gerald merge geographically Therefore without diligent representation on their behalf the people of Acton could become an Insignificant addendum to tbe Georgetown area and Indeed the region Growth development and maintenance will occur elsewhere and Acton will become a backwater in Halton The main Issue for Ward 1 Is therefore maintaining a high profile for Acton so that Acton citizens receive the attention their numbers truly warrant All other issues tax equalize lion water residential development new industry refurbishing tbe down town core In Acton all stem from primary Issue Acton deserves councillors who have the communitys interests at heart and not private political ambitions Actoo needs a strong voice in council lo ensure that as the Town of Hills and he Region of Halton prosper so equally will Acton I offer my services to end gforf Mike For My wide range of ex perience both in business and political life has fully prepared me for the position
