The 2018 Municipal Elections have finally come to an end.
In what may have been the most inflammatory Municipal election in recent memory, with fiery debates, social media quarrels, and “don’t re-elect” signs, the people have spoken, while 29.42% of them at least, and their response was, 4 more years.
All of the incumbents in Halton Hills will be making a return minus Dave Kentner who will be replaced by Wendy Farrow-Reed in Ward 3, defeating Dave by over 600 votes.
Mayor Rick Bonnette will continue his role in office after receiving an outstanding 80.35% of the vote. “I feel very good, it’s a solid mandate, I mean we got 80% of the vote, so that’s a solid mandate, and at the same time, I'm very humbled that the citizens of this town put trust in me for another 4 years”, said Mayor Bonnette, he went on to tell us about his key issues to focus on in the next 4 years, “ one is going to be Vision Georgetown, and Vision Georgetown is in the next couple years, its going to be the influx of population coming in, we have a secondary plan, but it still has to be approved at the region. I’m still going to advocate like I’ve always done for the 2 way all day GO service, and Cannabis is going to be something we’re going to be dealing with. That is probably going to be one of the key issues very early in the term, but we are going to have a lot of public consultation”.For Ward 1 in Acton, Councillor Jon Hurst and Councillor Mike Albano will be making a return, with Jon beating Mike by only 1 vote. “It feels great” said Mike, “It’s great to see both incumbents got in tonight, and we both almost got the same amount of votes, Jon ended UP with one extra vote, so we must be doing right together”. Jon said “It’s great to see Mike and myself are relatively tied, you know we worked together, we went door to door together, so it feels good that were virtually tied”.We asked Jon and Mike about their key issues for his UPcoming term, “There are a number of projects and a number of things rather we left on the table”, Mike went on “Churchill Road, the units going through, to move those forward”, he also mentioned about the traffic study, and to keep advocating on issues he campaigned on such as affordable housing, long term care facilities, traffic concerns and art. Jon echoed Mike in his responses “Traffic and trucks and travelling downtown, followed by housing for seniors and long term care and affordable housing”
Praise was also given to the other candidates in their hard fought campaigns, “As for the other candidates, I think they really brought a lot to the table, as far as energizing the overall course of the election”, said Councillor Hurst.4 more years ( Councillors Jon Hurst, Mike Albano, Clark Somerville, Ted Brown, Bryan Lewis, with Mayor Rick Bonnette)
