are areas of where It is less popular in Acton Whiting noted with all the work the region has done here it is at least an arguable proposition Acton won grow in thc future so the region a larger tax base will to our benefit eventually In fact Whiting says he I hear all that many beefs about regional government mostly ho just clarifies regional policies for ratepayers and mends fences when regional staff exhibits a poor attitude towards taxpayers complaints You hear a bit of grumbling still but most peo ple in Acton ore reasonable and realize regional isn going to go away the province won tallow it Since being elected he been working full time on regional and Hills matters abandoning his work In real estate He notes his name still appears on his old firm advertisements but that only so he can keep his licence the time he out of politics His Heather is working in real estate and when he receives calls from clients he refers them to her He sits on not Just regional committee health and social services lie is assigned to but also at tends the other committees input He was particularly active at budget meetings and Is proud of the fact some of the spending cuts he rec got through He also busy with Child rcn a Aid Society the Manor board Whiting says hos concentrated on the region more than Hills since at area level Acton already has two strong effective voices Terry Grubbe and Ross Knechtcl while at the region he Acton a only voice But with all the meetings for both levels of government and seminars so he can learn more Dave has found he must cut back on his community involvement Ho s first vicepresident of the Cham of Commerce and expects lo tackle the prds job next year But he t been able to get to many Rotary Club meetings and an exec with the ball league anymore Another time consuming chore for is is representing thc municipality at dozens and dozens of social functions In addition finding answers to questions and solving ratepayers problems eats up a lot of hours Overall Acton rookie politician is really enjoy his duties and is glad he stuck with trying to get elected after two unsuccessful attempts He even become d by the red tape and slowness with which government moves Looking ahead he doesn expect will have the provincial equalization grants problems the rcg Ion had into year in which should stabilize taxes somewhat At the same time he will still be looking for a tax hike In the neighborhood of 17 to 20 per cent next year because he wants the region to keep pushing ahead with road reconstruction projects and cot tlnue beefing up the police force He will be speaking out loudly i gainst future debentunng because ratepayers simply can t afford lo pay the sky high interest rates Because thc 1080 audit was done before the region budget was struck he expects the region won face deficit woes again and council Is finally keeping a close eye on department spending But the big Issue ahead is solving s mount garbage problems He doesn think Site will ever be a Hal ton has got to get moving on doing something with garbage besides simply burying it He thinks the best solution will be to burn our garbage and find a way to use it for energy He also wants the region to start spending money Ramp at PO The year of the disabled has not gone noticed in Acton Taking advantage of the month long postal strike the
