Yes says Bennett There's a good chance, certainly better than 50- 50, the next time you go to the polls to elect your next municipal council you'll be picking politicians for a three-year and not a two-year term. That was the word this week from Claude Bennett, Ontario's minister of housing and in- tergovernmental affairs when he addressed the annual meeting of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The AMO meeting was especially important since it was also the founding conference for a new group that will include AMO members and their counterparts from the Rural Ontario Municipal(s) Association which is chaired by Reeve Morris Darby of Tiny Township and ACRO (the Association of Counties and Regions of Ontario). Local and area politicians from North Simcoe attended the meeting in Metro this week including Deputy-reeve David Walker of Tay Township who indicated he was opposed to extending a coun- cillor's term from two to three years. He predicted a number of by-elections during a three-year term since "people do get sick, change jobs, lose interest..." Midland's Alderman Richard Platt feels a two- year term is sufficient "'but to tell you the truth I'm not opposed to three years."' He said it takes a politician more than a year to get his feet wet 'that's why I think a two-year term is reasonable. However if the province wants to change it to three that's okay with me." Walker thinks the province's plan to increase tenure from two to three years is to accommodate "larger cities where being a member of council is really a full time job. But that just isn't the case with our smaller municipalities." a SSD A Sa a on fn fn fff fff hh habe they came to Midland a number of years ago. Huronia Players have come full circle.
