B2rhe Canadian Champion, Milton, Ont. Wed. JuIy 31, 1974 !i1ft1PlOn / Editorial Page It mas une of those days... Halton Region's Chairman Al- Ian Masson ment to Toronto Wednesday lu attend the unveiling ut an Ontario Goveroment report and during bis absence he mas criticized on three counts: 1-Oakville Councillur Gordon Bromn told a Finance and Ad- ministration Committee meeting tIhe chairman had gone lu the press, behind the backs of councîllors, and openly criticized counciltors' attitudes for delaying progreso at tIhe region. Bromn suggested a mo- tion of censure, but it mas passed up in the discussions. 2-Masson mas souodty criticiz- ed by several counicillors for cal- ling a quick meeting for Friday morning in an attempt lu finalize thse region's long-delayed initial budget. Committee chairman Councillor Ric Morrom, George- tomn, felt thse chairman should have consulted the finance cues- mittee, before calling the spocial meeting to deal mith such a broad financial topic. Several members uf the committee said it mas impos- sible to attend Friday's meeting on such short notice. (The Friday meeting had been decided on Tues- day and mailed notices didn't ar- rive at councillors' homes until Wednesday.) 3-Masson's proposaIs for nem furniture for his osso office and the region's hesdquarters reception area mere quite qoickly tomn apart by members of the same commit- tee. On the first point, someone shoutd tell Councillor Bromn that "tmo mrongs don't make a right." If Masson mas being unethicat in telling tihe press -the eoulncilors wmre a bunch of doits, mhat mas Îhi'saii "~en he reversed the tables at an open meeting attended by five press representatives and a rate- payer? Perhapo if the regional councîl- lors got down to brass tacks asud forgot their pettineos, the region would be a much smoother opera- lion by nom. On the second point, everyone in Halton and especially aIl those in the municipal field are anxiously awaiting the region's final budget, s0 the local municipal budgets con be settled and proper tax bills issu- ed. The way we see it, calling a fin- aI budget meeting before Friday was impassible and the regional chairman only exercised bis rigbt and bis duty by calling the meeting at tbe earliest possible moment. Ibis week, wben most critics mont- ed the special meeting, is the only meeting-less week of the summer for regional coiincillors and many bad booked holiday trips. Point three, the furniture deal, appeared teo ho more a porsonal vendetta against the chairman, thon sound business logic. But the point was, tbey rejected the furni- ture project in the chairman's ab- sence.' witbout giving bim a cbance lu defend bis proposai. All three instances are only ex- amples of oshat is happening on an almoot daily basis at regional headquarters in Burlington. Unfor- tunately the seat of government is too remote and removed from the taxpayers in this area. IS a pity more taxpayers can't take the time to sec how the elected representa- tives f rom some areas of Halton are managing (or mismanaging) their business. Perhaps ito time the petty jea- lousies, the chîldîsh attitudes and the continuing conflict betmeen counicîllors and staff more put aoide and me aIl got domn to the business ut tryîng toi make Ibis regional goveroment osork. fits nom, or Shaîngth honof.., The Champion brooght home some national nemspapor amards again Ibis yoar and that excites us for tmo reaxons.
