Regional council meeting according to Jake One of Hills five Regional representatives surveyed by this newspaper on the minor controversy surrounding dual political role Kuiken predicted that council will veto Joan Little s demand for a full accounting by the chair man Mayor Russ Miller called the Burlington councillor a demand for a report on intentions frivolous Four of Hills live Regional councillors- Miller Kuiken John McDonald and Dave Whiting said they no need for the report Mike Armstrong while supporting declined to comment on the need for the report A recommendation from the Region planning and public works committee originated b Little will today ask council to have outline his intentions once the Provincial election is called Little wants to know how much lime he II spend on Regional affairs while cam for the Burlington seat at Queen s Park and suggested that he stay out of all Regional council discussions on land fill Issues Should be called upon to cast a tiebreaking vote she said landfill opponents could challenge Regional ions because of a perceived conflict of interest LEATHER- won the Progressive live candidacy October 11 over Burlington Regional councillor Barry Little reminded colleagues that prior to Regional council s election of chairman in 1383 she asked candidates for the job and Carol Gooding of whether they would leek provincial or federal office should an election be called at either level before the municipal term ex Both said they would not It was a bit of a loaded question Whiting commented week pointing out that man people knew hoped to one day move into provincial politics Peter pretty much left himself open to criticism by reneging on something he d indicated before McDonald I edged I m sure the concerns in Joan mind arc well founded based on the question she asked Carol and Pete Armstrong added I appreciate her concerns but Peter has been in local politics for a considerable length of lime 1 think he recognizes his responsibility And if the election is called in late 1935 or he could finish out his term anyway Every poht has have some lion Miller said Peles in on awkward spot you never know how things are to change Had someone asked him about his future intentions when he campaigned for a school board seat years ago Miller said he would have told them sincerely that he had no ambitions of becoming a Town councillor When an opportune time comes you ve got to go after McDonald agreed You don know i you re going to have to wait another live or six years for the next provincial election Getting a commitment from the can was obviously important to Joan Whiting said She may have some personal difficulty with that but a lot of people around the council table dldn t We voted for the person we though was best for lhe job This report business is a waste of time Whiting McDonald and Kuiken were quick to point out that Burlington Regional Councillor Walter Mulkcwich Is also a candidate in the nest provincial election representing south New Democrats Just because were sure the Tories will form the government after that election t mean that this I affect loo said Hamilton Wentworth Regional chairman Anne Jones is also a Tory candidate in the next election he said and no one is questioning her municipal intentions there None of the Ration Hills representatives could see a conflict of interest arising from involvement in landfill discus or any other Regional debate If Little is worried that will be unable properly defend the Region decisions before lhe Province while vying for a Provincial seat she being overly optimistic about slate of Regional Provincial relations Armstrong said And Miller expressed doubt thai will be privy lo any confidential information thai could upset those relations I don see any conflict at all Whiting said Pete only votes on ties He can 1 exert lhe same influence at the Region that he did as mayor If an unforeseen problem does arise Armstrong said Pomeroy will be the first lo consult chief administrative officer and step aside if need be Whiting downplayed the degree to which politics plays a role in the selection of a landfill site The Region will carefully base its decision on defensible data and may have an alternative in mind should the prime candidate fail to gain approval but political gamesmanship will not enter into it he said Soundly behind Pomeroy decision lo jump Into Provincial politics the Hills members agreed that he would represent Burlington well at Queen Park if elected should be looked at as a great benefit to people like and Mulkcwich as members of the Legislature Miller commented He 11 represent us well McDonald said I think we 11 be much better off if someone from north who knows its peculiar problems is representing us noted that having a north native at Queen Park instead of in the Regional chair will probably be a I while tradeoff Our end of things seems hinge on the province and the federal government too he said North always seems to be getting the short end of the slick But got a pretty hard job ahead trying to unseal Julian Reed Liberal incumbent who has yet to declare his can didaey Julians done an excellent job as far as I an see and it going to take quite a bit to beat him but Bill Davis has wanted this riding so bad for years Maybe having a Conservative MPP here would get a
