Mr. McLaughlin, 37, a life-long resident of Cartwright is a veteran of two previous. jerms on Scugog Township comncil as he held the seat in 1976 and again in 1985. In the 1988 election he lost to Yvonne Christie in a bid w be Scugog's rep on Durham Region council. He told the Citizen he is "run- ning this ime on my own merit and past performance." He said the two main issues in the ¢lection are taxation and the possibility of a dump in Ward 4 "These are important issues, but I feel there are other issues as well in this election," he said: And he cited examples such as the need to prevent deterioration of Township roads; the need for proper up-keep and maintenance on com munity facilities sueh.as halls, parks, arenas and baseball dia- monds And he said the Tounsip must take an active role in promoting growth 4n the residential/ commer cial industrial sectors. He described himself as "pro res dential development," stating that "it's important for more people 10 live here," and the lack of residen ual development the last couple of years has had a stifling impact on the local economy in general But, he said, new residential development must be on full urban services (sewer and water). Mr. McLaughlin is not a member of cither Zero Garbage or the Taxpayers Coalition "hands-on experience" recreation facilities or Scugog, he said t he Township should be "looking after what we have now." As for new facilities like a sec ond pad, he said financial restraints have put those plans "on hold." Commenting on such things as the chance of a zero tax hike at the local level, he said "sure that's pos- sible" but warned that the Township would be caught playing catch-up" in following years to prevent roads and community facili- ties from deteriorating. And he noted that provincial subsidies are declining. Mr. McLaughlin's decision to try 10 get back into the political scene was made "over the last few weeks," but he admitted that the interest has never waned since his defeat three years ago. Married with three children, he owns a water haulage business, drives school bus part time and does a little farming at his home Edgerton Road, cast of Blackstock. He said "I think we need coun- cillors who have the trust of the peo ple w represent them on all issues, major, minor or financial with an open mind and a strong, solid busi- ness background." The Ward 4 seat 1s considered "up for grabs" in the November election as incumbent Glenn Malcolm is stepping up to challenge Mayor Howard Hall Along with Mr. Mc :Laughlin, there are two other candiffates in the race far the sca; Chuck Hill and David Dictlein Financing for paving Scugog Township has agreed © provide "bridge financing" to the Port Perry Business Improvement Area (BIA) 0 cover the cost of paving a parking lot behind Brocks department store The Township will put up $15,700 10 get the lot paved this fall, if the BIA re-pays Scugog from its owh 1992 budget.
