less waste of taxpayers’ money,
_Sidney resident Arthur Gregg, 77,

challenge incumbent Mayor
Norma Sealey in the Nov. 17
mayoral election.
“I have plenty to say in this
election, believe me,” Gregg said.
“We want open government in
Sidney, which we are not getting.”
He said the mayor’s annual
stipqge of $13,600 is too high and

g should be reduced to $10,000.

If elected, Gregg said he would
have the municipal treasurer
review all his mayoral expense

ccounts and repay any of the $40
“per day allocation for municipal
business if the full amount was not
used.

“We have to set an example that

it’s not always onwards and
Bipwards.” he said.

He said the Port of Sidney
development is not the same
development promised when the
project went to public hearing. He
also objected to the municipal

breakwater.

“The $3 million breakwater is

we're up to our necks in debt is
because we do expenditures like
this.”

Before any money is spent on
the proposed Beacon Avenue and
Pat Bay Highway interchange,
Gregg suggests placing a Multi-

nova camera at the intersection to_

slow speeders and stop those run-
ning lights.

He also disagreed with how
Sidney’s Museum has been devel-

Candidate calls for open government

Gregg is a member of the
recently formed Sidney Ratepay-
ers’ Association but said he does
not know if his candidacy is
backed by the group.

“Tt would be presumptuous of
me to say I’m backed by any-
body,” he said.

In the 1987 municipal election,
Gregg was an unsuccessful candi-
date for alderman.
