www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday September 21, 2007 - 5 Fairness for Halton campaign to quiz local candidates Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr is calling on local candidates running in the Oct. 10 provincial election to tell voters how they'll resolve critical issues facing Halton. The candidates are being asked to respond to a questionnaire by Monday as part of the Region's Fairness for Halton campaign. All answers received will be posted on the Region's website, www.halton.ca. "We developed the Fairness for Halton campaign to respond to the Province's Places to Grow plan, which is asking Halton to double its population over the next 25 years," said Carr. "Halton currently has a $300-million municipal infrastructure deficit and the provincial growth targets will require an additional $8.6 billion in municipal and provin- "We developed the Fairness for Halton campaign to respond to the Province's Places to Grow plan." Gary Carr, Halton Regional Chair cial infrastructure. As a result we need predictable, committed funding from the Province to ensure that growth does not fall on the backs of existing taxpayers. We think voters need to know what their local candidates will do to address this." Earlier this year, regional council adopted a resolution to advise the Province that the region can't accommodate the growth targets specified in the Places to Grow plan unless the Province commits to providing Halton with the necessary financial tools and funding commitments. To accommodate the growth, Halton will need a significant investment in hospital beds, schools, community services, emergency response services and roadways. "Halton voters should consider some key questions as the October 10 election approaches," noted Carr. "What will each candidate do to ensure that municipal infrastructure funding programs are targeted at the infrastructure required to accommodate growth? What will they do to ensure the objectives of the Fairness for Halton campaign are met? Are they willing to vote against their party if it means a better future for Halton?"
