voters of Ward where I W Hunter am submitting my name for REGIONAL COUNCILLOR and if elected I AM NOT IN FAVOUR of the proposed new Municipal Building or of any expenses with regard to same during the next two years IF NOT ALREADY approved I will strongly oppose the spending of proximately 000 on bringing water to the present Town Mun c pal Building As a good well with a large supply tank would easily supply the requirements YOU THE TAXPAYER should goi the Independent newspaper of Geo rgolown Oct 13th issue and turn to page re Councillors Records wherein they outline the record of each councillor and the amount of meetings ho missed For your information the Councillors are pi lor all meetings whether present or absent Why should we the taxpayer be paying for meetings missed by councillors unless they are absent on Coun business My stand in this matter would he that meetings missed by a councillor would be deducted from his salary ONE WONDERS WHAT the attendance record is at he Regional Level At the present time at the Regional Council they have a schedule of from four to five meetings a month mostly afternoon meetings approximately meetings a year for each councillor with a salary of 8 per year which when broken down is in the area of S1 CO per meeting whether present or absent plus car mileage Regional Building AN EXCERPT TAKEN from a local newspaper dated January 30th this Year headed Regional Councillors take 10 Cut quote Coun MacLean Anderson said councillors were overpaid and suggested that any notion that regional politics was full time was a lot of horscftathers He pointed out councillors had five consecutive weeks off at Christmas and moro time off in the summer AMOTION WAS passed that a 10 cut be approved and a By Law bo pre pared but when the By Law was presented it was defeated The Regional Councillors salaries are sot by themselves and in my opinion the salaries should be reduced from to 000 per year and any missed meetings other than Regional business should be deducted This would save taxpayer thousands and thousands of dollars and mako far bettor meetings THE METHOD OF tho tax structure on farms for the past recent years I believe is acceptable but tho proposed idea that is discussion it pre sent will be strongly opposed by me if I am in a position to do so I HAVE HAD years experience on Municipal Council Remember a councillor has only one vote but he can make himself heard Vol have only one vote December and I would appreciate your vote and represent you to the best of my ability Thank you THISTLE CUSTODIAL
