Also in the race is John Elliot. Elliot was raised in Toronto, and has lived in Waterloo for 14 years. He and his wife, Kathryn, have two daughters, aged 20 and 14. "I am proposing that any future tax increase in the City of Waterloo be approved by the voters through a referendum before it is implemented," he said. "This would force city council, in partnership with city staff, to become more resourceful, innovative and efficient in the use of our tax revenues. He and his wife, Barbara, have lived in Waterloo for 26 years. Their daughters, Drue and Robyn, attended schools in Waterloo and are now attending university.

Ward 6 (Uptown) councillor Tricia Siemens will be seeking her second term in office on November 14, but she will be challenged by Uptown Business Improveâ€" ment Association viceâ€"chairman Terry Hollohan. Hollohan is seeking election because sitting on council would allow him to have an impact on the direction of the Uptown area. s "I want to see continuity in the city core and there‘s now a window of opportunity with the Labatts and Seagram property available for redevelopment," said Hollohan. "I want to capitalize on the ward system, so that people get involved in all decisions. I want to set up a more direct means of communication between councilâ€" lors and the people that live in the ward."

Jones hopes that if elected he can spearhead an effort to make the ward system work the way he thinks it was intended to â€" that is, by giving residents of an area a council contact who looks after their interests.
