Hinton says Need more businessmen to bring costs under control Board of Education needs fewer trustees who are academics and more trustees who are businessmen so the board finances can be brought under control and candidate Bert said in an Inter view this week says he has been asked to run for a board seat by many Acton and ratepayers and the recent contract settlement which saw teachers receive over a 10 per cent raise things and forced him into the race this December I think it was irrcsponsi for the trustees to spend nearly million they just don have especially In this year of restraint and with taxpayers facing huge tax hikes he declared He said Tear of a strike by teachers is a lame excuse for giving out exhorbitant pav hikes added he old claim that North has only lour votes at the board table so trustees from Milton Hills can affect decisions by the board doesn t hold water Six members from the south the wage hike so if the four from the north had joined them it would been defeated and I don think there would have been a strike When the demands arc more than the public purse can stand you have been fair In your bargaining then you be afraid of a strike he said He says education spending has gotten completely out of hand and instead of so many academics on the board there should be some to bring about a logical balance I businessman and have hid extensive municipal experience as a former of Hilton and Reeve of Acton so I know the effects of a mill rate hike he stated says ho against teachers He believes the whole problem boards have been facing with their the past few years can be blamed on a few people Tht problems are created by a noisy minority who will find their influence decrea sing because they have hod their You find most of these people win most they ian get for least work it turns out they are ihe least skilled teachers lhe in ones who have ill this dragged tht whole teaching profession ilong with then dec in many other critics of iht of Hon thinks lum his swung too f over to courses which have no real Discipline Ins broken down too claims We have had too much of this cafeteria choice of sub jects where the students lake what they want and not what they need Our schools have become too permissive I am convinced the pendulum Is starting to swing back and I hope it ends in the middle and go all the way back to the old style of education be cause it wasn t any better than what wc have today thinks many good tonctpts have been deve loped in for the Hon of children but there arc also manv invalid ones which have to Ik weeded out and more basic education must be offered The board his been too often in the past few on moral issues also so something must be wrong with the education system he said HI Alternate schools The increasing popularity of alternate schools where the church plays a part In Is evidence enough there is something wrong with the public education system added He says he has entered this election six months before the polls open so everyone will have ample opportunity to examine the issues and so the public can hear lots of dla between himself and the incumbent Actonian Tom Watson who has indicated he will be running for re election thinks his ex pen In business and pal work will help him bring common sense to the table and feels his on county council will prove valuable in dealing with people from South since he knows what makes them tick He has been busy talking to people living in and thinks thty are even more concerned about rising costs thin Acton voters people ilways tend to more aware of costs and fiscal polity since farmers to use their heads to m ike money voters irt very concerned ibout taxes what they arc getting for Ihtir money he concluded Pet of the week
