Earlier this week Mayor Gordon Krantz announced that he’d seek re-election.  Two days ago on hawthorne villager a long-time Milton resident, Marshall Horner, threw in his name as a Ward 7 candidate for the local council.  He plans to announce his platform and more background information after he is nominated on Jan 4th.  For now he said: “If I am elected, I will stay in touch with my constituents and, any other resident of Milton who asks for my help.” 

Stay tuned.

A lesson for Milton?

“At times, we have to look back and say what could we have done better.  We’ve got a crisis in waste management in the GTA and we have a crisis in gridlock.

“We had our heads in the sand when we approved developments and located jobs wherever people wanted to put them, rather than doing some planning on where the employment should be. … It is an awakening, that we could have done things better and we’d better not make the same mistakes in the future.”

- Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion in a 2002 interview

Lets hope a Milton Mayor does not have to show regrets in the future.
