Leadership is value for each tax dollar Midland mayoralty candidate Ted Symons yesterday expanded on his election platform statement that leadership is the most important issue in Midland. "Every taxpayer in Midland deserves to know that each tax dollar is spent carefully and wisely. Your mayor and Midland council are obligated by the public's trust to ensure that each tax dollar buys good value for the most Midlanders."' "As a taxpayer, I am concerned that in addition to talk about holding the line on taxes, there be homework done to ensure Midland gets the best value for each and every tax dollar." "Low taxes and good value for Midland's taxpayer can_ be ensured in two ways." SMItSt. .aSs) -YOur mayor, I would insist that a tough budget and planning process be put into place at Midland town hall. Tax dollars are so hard earned and so precious that each dollar of expenditure needs to be examined and justified. Rather than a budget which justifies increases, your mayor must insist on a budget which justifies each dollar of expenditure." "Through a process called zero-base budgeting, every department would start each year with zero tax dollars and justify every single expenditure. Often we find we can do without things we assume are indispensible. Zero-base financial planning will ensure "assumed" expenditures do not creep into the system, never to be questioned. By systematically examining each and every dollar spent, I am certain Midland council can find real tax savings and ensure good value for each Midland taxpayer."

With a healthy and growing industrial and business tax base, Midland home owners should and can expect to bear a lower proportion of the tax burden. Municipalities which are' stagnant must turn to the home owner each year for a higher proportion of their tax needs." "Talk is cheap but not for taxpayers. Holding the line on taxes cannot be done without careful, time consuming preparation to justify each and every tax expenditure. As your mayor, I will insist that a sound zero-base system is adopted at town hall." "As Midland's mayor, I can provide the leadership to restore confidence and pride in Midland so that we can attract new industries.
