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.
