EM due 12
noon Tuesday 4 September, 100 words response in total
Question
1: Eden has been facing difficult financial times in recent years. Shops are
closing, sporting teams struggle for numbers as families move away, and should
the situation worsen, there is real concern for the future of what retail
assets we have left and the town itself.
With
those factors in mind, what are your ideas for stimulating growth and
employment opportunities in Eden?
Answer1:This
is a sad predicament all over. But if council can’t lead the way, it should get
out of the way. We can’t buy jobs or predict the future, but we can reduce
redtape to encourage new business, innovation and entrepreneurs to come to Eden
and give it a go.
Question
2: Are you taking the option to preference other candidates for this election?
If so, who have you chosen to preference?
Answer2:
As an independent, I haven’t aligned with any candidates or political parties. But
if we want change, then the only chance we have is this weekend. Vote 1 Ivan McKay
for a candidate with genuine community activities, new perspectives and a proven
track record. Visit vote1ivanmckay.blogspot.com.au to find out more.
