As a town, what we do today will affect us tomorrow. i want to be elected so i can help protect the wonderful values Milton aiready has, and ensure that " Namnes in red indicate incumnbents " Candidates Eugene Cummins (Ward 1 councillor).

Malboeuf: 'm disappointed with the cur- rent state of affairs in Milton. The growth bas been mishandled as have Multons finances. I believe with my business, personai and polit- ical experience i can heip get thîngs back the way they should be in our towri. Ward: 1 want to be elected because 1 believe i can make a dîfference. Milton is fac- ing serious (some might say devastatîng) growing pains. These growing pains have aiready reduced our quality of life. Uniess we have someone professional and accountable; unless we have someone whos unafraid of the developers; unless we have someone who's not just another "good old boy".. This out-of-control change could completely destroy our quality of life... perinanently y Wendy Schau Paul Scherer Councîllor Councillor Ward 4 Ward 4 Ciuett: i wouid like to be elected to coun- cil because I feel that over the last several years family-hased issues have heen put on the backburner for some time.

We need the Town and its resources in our corner for what wili certain- ly be extended and onerous applications that wili probably turn into legai challenges in court. The same is true for St. Marys quarry, the CN intermodai terminal and the Ninth Line rezoning. 1 have been through many such batties before and 1 can offer a great deal to the process. 1 feel a duty to serve on one hand and l'in spoiiing for the fight" on the other hand.
