Ltd. Port Perry, Ontario Debbie McEachern Robert Taylor, Richard Drew Editorial Comment Bad timing for Ward 2 vote As election day in Scugog looms, there becomes apparent cause for concern. : There is a distinct possibility that the byelection in Ward 2, and voter turn-out, will be victimized by bad timing. First, there's the date of the vote: May 23, a Tuesday, and coming hard on the heels of Victoria Day, the first real long weekend of the summer season. How many folks are going to drag themselves out to the polls following a weekend of sun, suds and fireworks? ...That remains to be seen. Then, of course, there is the provincial election, running concurrently with the Ward 2 vote. Already signs touting the candidates for the three major parties seeking election in Durham East are popping up, and it's a safe bet that the pages of your local paper will be featuring a number of articles and photos as they hit the hustings to woo the vote. It's remote, but there's a possibility for voter confusion. There's nothing that can be done about the date of the byelection -- unfortunate as it is -- so it will be up to the candidates and voters to acquaint themselves with each other, and solidify lines of support. It will be up to the Ward 2 candidates to drum up the vote, and get it out on May 23. It will be the responsibility of Ward 2 residents to stay informed, and take the trouble to go to the polls. This is an important election in Ward 2, where the stresses of encroaching development are already being felt -- we refer you to the flap over the fast food spot proposed for the corner of Simcoe St. and Hwy 7A -- and residents there will need strong representation. Don't let the vote pass you by. T's Ki SORT QUT WHO THE CANDIDATES IN WARD 0 ND OF TOUGH To Te. Wh .
