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.
