Urban Board debates P U C and regional government plans
The North Halton Urban Board discussed a two tier regional government for Halton and the idea of placing water and hydro services under a Public Utilities Commission. Milton Councillor Colin Smillie argued that a locally controlled system could justify regional governance while criticizing Hydro surplus spending and questioning taxpayer accountability. Mayor Les Duby defended the Hydro building financed from a surplus, while others saw merit in a P U C but feared undermining a functioning Hydro Commission amid regional government moves.
