(photo/ Pat Bolen) e The Exeter Times -Advocate surveyed prominent members in our community asking for their forecast of 2005. Will it be a year of development, change or challenges or will it be a year of cutbacks, hard decisions or hard work? ROB MORLEY ORGANIZATION: Mayor South Huron 2005 WILL BE A YEAR OF: More Tough Decisions WHY? Trying to keep up to upper government leg- islations, our own regulations, while keeping our municipality as one we want to work and live in. At what cost? THE COMING YEAR'S CHALLENGES AND HOW TO MEET THEM?: We all want to be part of good things, and we all know right from wrong. The challenge is to find the balance between what we have to do as decision makers and what we can afford. A lot of the time legislation is passed with no consideration to the cost. Between provincial downloads, the Walkerton cri- sis and others, your local council has become a group making decisions on issues it was never designed to. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Your property taxes are paying for costs they have never paid for before. Our biggest challenge is to deal with these issues and lobby other levels of government to help defray the costs. I don't see their tax rates dropping to reflect their shorter workload. Having said that, I realize upper levels of govern- ment are dealing with issues they also never dreamt they would be dealing with. Technology as it is today, especially in the health-care area. Can we afford it? Only when we are sick do we appreciate it. Almost every time there is an inquiry about some- thing, be it an accident or death, more legislation is made to help prevent it from happening again—at what expense? In today's fast -paced world, I believe we all expect more for the same, or less. As representatives of our municipality, I think we all have a lot of the same goals. We just have to fig- ure out how to get there. Being part of rural Ontario and small-town Ontario is something I am very proud of, and I am sure if I asked around most people in the area have the same feeling. Let's all stand together and keep it the great place that it is.
