community for more information call 6408695 or 6408538 excerpts from mike watsons 1997 local election debates my strength is that i tell the straight facts like them or not i dont give the politically correct answer and im certainly not afraid to admit if im wrong let me tell you my position on the new town hall no i am against building a new town hall wayne emmerson says he is also against the town hall but think about it the proposed town hall would never have gone this far if the mayor and majority of the existing council did not support it i am for economic growth and proper develop ment our challenge is to ensure that it is well thought out and balanced with the existing characteristics of our community whitchurchstouffville needs to know how well the town is running its own business as it is now we are fully dependent on consultants approval of the work consultants perform doesnt come before council it seems to be approved and dealt with elsewhere yet the town consultants make millions off of us every year lets look at tendering as mayor one needs to be more responsible with town money policy dictates we tender all contracts over 20000 however council waives this tender policy at their leisure these rules and policies have a reason to protect the residents of whitchurchstouffville as mayor i will promote open government and council teamwork open government does not just mean letting people speak it means encouraging active participation in shaping all aspects of our town it means listening to the people and incorporating that information into decisions made by council teamwork does not mean- people agreeing to follow one persons view and sticking to the party line it means the council consists of 7 open intelligent points of view when council lors come into a meeting with prepared speeches and motions this shows that the decision has been made previously this is not open government this is an insult to every resident as mayor i will concentrate on building a better community town wide for all residents i have been asked if i have enough experience to be mayor from my time on council plus previous community involvement and life expe riences i have developed leadership skills one requires to be a good mayor experience is not what happens to a man it is what a man does with what happens to him aldous huxley
