As of this morning, I have filed my nomination papers for the position of Local Councillor for Ward 6. The election is to be held October 25, 2010.
I didn’t come to this decision easily. Over the past several years I have seen town council lose focus on the priorities of Milton taxpayers. There seems to be a disconnect when it comes to issues relating to the growth in town to the concerns of the population.
Many Miltonians don’t even know who their councillor is and that has to change.
My platform is simple. Accountability to taxpayers, sound financial management and smart growth. It’s important that there be a two-way dialogue between elected officials and the taxpayers. You can count on me as your town councillor to begin that conversation not just during election campaigns, but in between as well.
Stay tuned to this blog in the coming days to find out more about how we can secure Milton’s future…together.
You can join my Facebook page HERE for up to the date information on the campaign. Twitter me here as well.
I look forward to hearing from you over the next several months and I hope to count on your support.
I’ll see you at the doors!
