"I don't believe taxpayer money should be used to support special interest groups," said Councillor Rick Maibocuf. "Taxpayer money belongs to ail citizens, including those in opposition." Tlhose comments came on the heels of a proposai by Councillor John Challinor that would have seen a policy developed to pro- vide up to $25,000 in funding for citizens' groups complimenting the town's position 1in legai and quaai-judiciai planning pro- ceedings.

With the growth Milton is experienc- ing, we're going to see a lot more of these types of challenges in the future. We will be poorer for not encouraging this type of involvement," Mr. Challinor said about the hours and personal dollars spent by the Fniends of E.C.
