Halton Hills mayors back bill to redraw regional power
Mayor Tom Hill and mayoral candidate Conn Levy announced support from Milton and Oakville leaders to push MPP Johan Reed to introduce a private member's bill at Queen's Park. They seek changes to Bill 151, the 1973 act that merged Acton Esquesing and Georgetown, arguing regional control has failed North Halton and promising citizen committees with greater administrative authority.

Solandt Lands, Hydro Corridor Probe Sparks Political Row
Ontario Attorney General Roy McMurtry condemned Halton Burlington MPP Julian Reed’s call for a probe into Solandt Commission recommendations. Reed spoke in the legislature after Acton disclosures about lands owned by Dr. Solandt near a proposed corridor favored by Ontario Hydro but rejected by the commission for lack of detail. Solandt denied any conflict of interest in a Globe and Mail interview. Counsel for local landowners said the commission’s report does not mention such disclosures, but Reed said the matter would be reviewed.
