Last week, the On- tario Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs, Claude Bennett, said that lie supports the extended term for local government. Bennett's announ- cement wiil probably be well received by local politicians from across Durham Region, many of whomx have been ad- vocating such a move since the report of the Regional Review Com- mittee was handed down Iast year. One of the review committee's recom- mendations was that the termn for local politi- cians be extended to three years from its present two years. However, Tom Wells, the Ontario Minister of Intergovernmental Af- fairs quickly rejected it. Attersiey said that the three year term has many advantages and disadvantages. One of the major ad- vantages, he said, was that new councillors would have a greater opportunity to evaluate the job and to becom the job and to become- used to it. "It takes a good six months for any new councillor to get a feel for the municipality," Attersley said adding that the extended term would "probably mean more time to implement new ideas. " The long-time municipal politicians point out that when a newly elected person joins Whitby Town Council, the budget process is already un- derway and he or she has a difficuit time trying to deal with it properly. "With a three-year term you will get more continuity," he said. However, there is one big disadvantage. "The one big disad- vantage of it is if the electorate isn't happy with the job a councillor is doing, then it takes a year longer to show their displeasure," he said. The three-term, At- tersley believès, will cause candidates in a municipal election to consider their positions more carefully. "After ail, it will then be a three-year senten- ce," he said. The mayor is also con- fident that the elec- torate will display "a greater degree of seriousness" if the term was extended to three years. Both the candidates and the electorate would have to approach an election knowing that a three year term means a greater commitment to the job, Attersley said. As of press timne, it was not known whether or not Bennett lias any plans to introduce legis- lation giving local politi- cians a three year term but he was quoted as saying that he would like to see it in place before the 1982 municipal elections.
