As of this past week, there is now another candidate for Milton Ward 7 — local resident Paul Virdo.
Here is the announcement from Paul’s website:
Local businessperson Paul Virdo has now declared his candidacy for Ward 7 Town Councillor in the upcoming 2010 municipal election.
“Residents deserve real local representation and, as a Ward 7 resident, I am delighted to place myself forward to serve my community,” said Virdo, a 32 year-old insurance advisor with over 7 years experience in the broader public sector. “Ward 7 will benefit from an experienced voice that lives and breathes in the community they serve,” added Virdo, who hopes to bring his knowledge of public sector issues to Milton Town Hall.
“As a fast-growing town, Milton can learn from the challenges other built-up communities have had when it comes to planning and infrastructure,” said Virdo. “By having an honest continuous conversation with residents, we can ensure that our town grows in line with our community’s needs.”
Paul Virdo will be conducting a listening tour and is encouraging his neighbours to participate in developing a Ward 7 community platform. “I am committed to ensure my neighbours are engaged in discussing the issues that will define our community in the years to come,” added Virdo, who believes in the core principle of keeping taxes low by having growth pay for itself, by attracting business investment to increase the employer tax base and bring jobs to Milton, and by ensuring senior levels of government contribute a fair share of service and infrastructure funding.
“I look forward to a healthy and positive debate with the other candidates about the issues that matter most to our community.”
MiltonSearch.com congratulates Paul on his decision to run for council and would like to wish him all the best on his campaign. As we’ve said before, it’s going to be an intriguing 7 months and it’s great to see so many people passionate about the future of our growing town and looking to get involved in helping to shape it.
