Cluett to try once more in Ward 6
Published on Jan 21, 2010
A Milton man who came close to securing a seat on council in the last municipal election is hoping the second time’s a charm.
Mike Cluett, who was only 93 votes shy of unseating long-time Councillor Brian Penman in 2006, has filed to run for councillor in the newly-created Ward 6 this fall.
The local blogger said he’s throwing his hat back in the ring because he feels town council needs to refocus its priorities.
“I think the Town is spending a lot of money without focusing on infrastructure and roads,” he said. “There seems to be a disconnect when it comes to issues relating to the growth in town and the concerns of the population.”
Cluett, a father of two and a sales consultant for a payment processing company, has lived in Milton since 2003.
He served on Milton’s 150th anniversary committee and has also been active in the community by working with residents on safety issues like residential speeding, parking and stop signs.
Ward 6 is framed by Derry, Thompson and Britannia roads and Fourth Line.
I read this in the paper Mike and Im very excited about you running. I live just off Clark and my husband and I plan on voting for you. Ive emailed you our address so that when you have lawn signs I want one on our lawn.
Congratulations Mike. Good luck.
Congrats Mike! Youve got my vote as well.
I dont think Mike ever mentioned this on his blog but he did help us out a couple of years ago with some parking issues. Its the small things like that which will make Mike an excellent councillor for the Town of Milton.
Thanks again Mike. Good luck.
