Edward McMillan, Acton I dont think Im going to be better off they give you something at one end and take it away at the other so, it works out even, and you are where you were. Ashleigh Clarke, Acton I know that when Im older it will affect me more I read about the budgets in the paper, and lots of people are talking about them, but Im not too wor- ried about it. Edward Ross, Acton We have too many bu - reaucrats making more than the politicians make, so I dont think either budget will help me. Until they remove the GST and remove the metric system, were always going to be in trouble. Gloria McIsaac, Acton I think that they are doing the best that they can. Were not going to see much difference, but wont be any worse off. I think the governments are helping people who have less. GREAT GOALIE: Acton High School goalie Spencer Veness was sharp in net, helping his team defeat the Halton Police Service squad 10-4 at the third annual challenge last Thursday in Acton. Enthusiastic fans donated non-perishable food to Actons FoodShare and used equipment to minor hockey.

Fran- ces Niblock photo Tenants in rent arrears get assistance Tenants with short-term rent arrears are getting an assist from the On- tario government which has allocated $158,828 to the rent bank program in Halton. The money is part of over $4.8 million in funding distributed among Ontario rent banks. The Provincial Rent Bank Program promotes housing stability by as- sisting tenants to avoid eviction for non-payment of rent, as short-term arrears is the most common reason tenants lose their homes and end up in shelters. Tenants with lower incomes may apply to the Halton rent bank to re- ceive short-term financial assistance to address rent arrears. If a tenants application to a rent bank is approved, the outstanding rent is paid directly to the landlord on behalf of the tenant. Tenants can apply for financial assistance from a rent bank no more than once in two years, and receive maximum assistance for two months rental arrears. In 2004, the program began with an initial allocation of $10 million distributed among municipalities in Ontario. Since an additional invest- ment of $4 million in March 2006, over 8,000 households have received assistance and avoided eviction.
