Day: November 5, 2006

I just got back from the second half of my day knocking on doors and I wanted to post this great question I got from a lady on Auger Terrace.

The question was “Would you like to work with one of the incumbents or a new addition to town council for this ward?”

My answer was simply I would want to work with anyone who is committed to increasing the quality of life in Milton.

I hope my counterpart on council will work with me to help reduce speed limits on our streets and work with the local police to enforce those limits.

I would like to work with my counterpart to review future developments and see that there are more green spaces and parks for our children to play safely.

I hope my counterpart is as committed as I am to spending your tax dollar with respect and work to ensure there are no unnecessary tax increases.

And finally, I hope my counterpart wants to work with me in establishing a Citizen Advisory Committee, having town hall and information sessions to make sure the taxpayers are informed so we dont have any more “Pristine” surprises a couple of weeks before the next election.

I am very proud of the fact that the Ward One local councillor campaign has been a campaign of ideas and visions for Milton and not about bashing the other guy. Out of the people running for this position I will be working hard for the people who elected me…YOU! Thats the job of the local councillor … to work for you, to speak out for you and to inform you.

Its a responsibility I take very seriously and I hope I will work for you after November 13th.

I’ll see you at the doors.

I was doing the rounds yesterday around Trudeau and many of the people I spoke with know who I was when I came to the door. There were many of you who visit my website on a regular basis and make it one of their regular stops.

I hope that this will continue because as Town Councillor I will keep updating it to let everyone know what happens at council meetings, what is coming regarding development and how you can get involved.

It looks like Coffee with the Cluett’s will be well attended as I have had a quite a few people RSVP for Thursday November 9th at Cafe Deda. (First coffee is on me!)

Tonight there is a meeting at the Campbellville Lions Hall regarding the St. Marys Quarry issue being hosted by the Milton Ratepayers Association starting at 7pm. Until then I’m going to be hitting the doors some more.

Thank you to everyone yesterday who took a sign for your lawn to show your support. It is much appreciated. If you would like a sign for your lawn, you can call 905-878-1327 or email signs@mikecluett.ca

Time to get back at it…I’ll see you at the doors.
