In -a democra.cy, people have the right te, voice their opinions about NIMBYism, or any other 'isin'for that matter. There is nothing one can do 'about NMBYism, and I am nont sure whethnr, on. should even try. If you attack NIMBYin, ycu are attacking the. rightof every citizen te speak i. mind. You are attacking a fundamental right of fr-e. speech. 7.

The Whitby waterfront should always remain readily accessible te the public, thereby ensuring its enicyment fer generations te cerne. Whatever improvements are made wiIl have te incorporate a community vision. My personal vision includes preserving the. natur-al beauty, a dlean environment, architectural harmony, recreation for. ail and, accessibility. Ii n C ple, I am in favour cf the ie te refurbish the. Centennial. Building. I do, net think it should b. pald for by the. taxpayers.

Gov.rnment is only expensive because cof its inherent rilght te-- tax in order te meet prqdected .expenses. Instead, goenent should operate more lie a tpcal family household. Whitliy tewn council should set' a budget, and then live withln it. Municipal governinent should neyer project coes and then set revenues te meet those cas by simply adusting taxes up accordingly.> I advocate tai increases. in concert with the. rate of inflation. This would in effect constitute a budget. Exponses would then fal within this budget according te priority.
