She noted it was David Petersen's Liberal gov ernment that "awarded this growth to Oakville" in 1987. Mulvale also noted that half of the new residents in some developing areas are Oakville people whose lifestyles have changed or they are young people looking to afford a home for their family in the com munity in which they grew up. Mulvale pledged that if there is environ mental data to lobby the province to reduce its mandated population growth target for Oakville, "I will lead it" Burton took aim at the $900,000 the Town has made available in its budget for discounts to industrial/commercial devel opment charges. Mulvale defended that such discounts enable Oakville to better compete with other communities to lure industrial/com mercial growth here - along with future taxes that will help pay for services to resi dents. Burton pledged that he would not, if elected, give money away and called the Mulvale said she has never broken the oath of office and never will. Mulvale said that zoning changes and a push for live-work scenarios and at-home employment is all part of trying to grow Oakville's economy - some of which would be environmentally beneficial, if it reduces traffic. Burton said Oakville is currently 85 per cent residential. He noted Brampton is 60 per cent residential. "How much like Brampton do you want to be? " Burton asked chamber members. Burton said he's running to give resi dents a choice. Both Burton and Mulvale said they sup ported the arts. While Mulvale said Oakville leads in its incorporation of the arts for a community of its size. Burton sug gested subsidies to developers could be bet ter spent on arts. Burton remained skeptical that any new deal or a share in gasoline tax for public transit would see Oakville come out the winner against the province. Addressing a shortage of recreational facilities, Mulvale said the legislation regarding development charges needs to be changed so more of that money can go toward recreational facilities. Burton said Oakville provides one ice rink for every 23,000 people while Milton's ratio is one to 12,000. Again he argued "subsidies" to business could be better spent on Oakville residents. In closing. Burton said as mayor he would make Town Hall live within its means, understand there was no such thing as a free lunch, look at issues with a skepti cal eye and the ability to say no. Mulvale said there aren't "simplistic solutions to complex problems." Mulvale said the Town went into debt to rebuild Munn's Creek after homes were flooded there, to build the Rebecca Street bridge and to get the Third Line/QEW interchange built while the Province was dragging its heels -- all to improve life for residents. Mulvale said she's widely respected and has the network to deliver a new deal to municipalities. A third candidate for mayor, Richard Serra, was not in attendance. Peter C.
