May 4th, Council approved e bulk of the budget â€" highlighted y a 0% mill rate increase â€" but simâ€" hly ran out of time before crossing e last T. On Monday, councillors ave their blessing to several outâ€" tanding issues, including the budâ€" ets for the Bronte and Downtown IA‘s, the Oakville Public Library oard and Oakville Galleries oard. Last week council approved the 1994 Budget Committee‘s wish list to be submitted under the Canadaâ€" Ontario Infrastructure Works Program. This contains such proâ€" jects as the four phases of Neyagawa Boulevard, Oakville‘s portion of the Halton Region 800 Trunk Radio System, the Oakville Humane Society building expanâ€" sion, Kerr Street, Bronte and Downtown streetscape/streetlightâ€" ing. While the Town managed to flatâ€" line its mill rate increase this year, the Region (0.95%) and the Boards of Education (4.76%) were not so fortunate. As a result, the total propâ€" erty taxes on a residential asséssâ€" ment of $7,600 with a 1984 market value of $105,000 will be $2,607.54, up $74.24 from $2,533.30 last year. The 0% mill rate increase for 1994 is the lowest in recent memoâ€" ry. Last year the 1993 Budget Committee claimed that honor with a 1.97% increase. In previous years the mill rate increase fluctuated wildly: 2.75% in 1992, 5.70% in 1991, 8.4% in 1990, 6.8% in 1989 and 4.6% in 1988. .

"Anyone. who can read can identify the issues. Only experience can help solve them," says McLeod, a Burlington resident and father of two. ‘‘We‘re hiring people by the way they talk about the issues, not by their capacity to find soluâ€" tions." The result, he continues, has been a series of "crash test governments" swept into power on protest votes and the smoke screens conjured by politicians illâ€"equipped to meet the challenges of office. According to McLeod, who has roots in both Burlington and Oakville, the main issue in what will likely be a spring 1995 election is just what kind of people should be at the reins in Queens Park. : McLeod says he is a "selfâ€"made man" possessing the practical underâ€" standing of creatâ€" ing jobs in the businesses _ he owns. As a comâ€" mitted Rotarian for 12 years, he has worked with leadâ€" ers on six contiâ€" nents and does 20 hours of volunteer work each week. * ~Service above self* is the Rotarian motto," says McLeod, who has also been everything from a machinist to a military policeman. "Politics is the ultiâ€" mate community service project. This isn‘t a job to me. This is a crusade." Voters should be informed about which candidates have backgrounds in business â€" particularly small business â€" as opposed to lawyers, bankers and those from bigâ€"business monopolies. Individuals with solid business acumen who have actually created GNP are far more valuable, he says.
