This will have a direct effect on Muskoka, as currently the Chair of the Muskoka District (Regional) Council is elected only by District councillors. At first blush, this is a great idea; democracy in action and all that good stuff. Indeed, most people who reacted to the story when it was published by Huntsville Doppler liked the idea. To me, however, it comes under the heading of \u2018Be careful what you wish for\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>By electing the District Chair across all of Muskoka you are in effect creating a super mayor. The District Chair will have a constituency and therefore a mandate larger than any mayor of a lower-tier municipality. By definition, he or she will become the senior municipal politician in Muskoka. That, in my view, is one more step toward single-tier governance in Muskoka; just one more nail in the coffin of local municipalities. Perhaps it is inevitable, but I still don\u2019t like it. I continue to believe that municipal government is best delivered at the local level. District Government has created a bureaucracy in Muskoka with close to 500 employees and this is in addition to the people employed by the six area municipalities. With a head of District Council that has a mandate across all of Muskoka, it can only get worse.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>There are other problems as well in electing the District Chair at large. A District-wide election will cost money, real money, as much as $75,000 per candidate. And where will that money come from? Certainly not from the candidates. They will have to raise most of the money to cover the cost of their election campaigns. Some people will donate money simply because they believe in the candidate. Others will donate because they hope they will have influence if they support the winning candidate. It is just human nature. This is especially true of companies that have the potential of doing business with the municipality. While there are limits on the amount of money a company can donate, there are ways around it, through related corporations and personal donations from individuals connected to the business. This can add up to a considerable amount of money and, potentially, influence. We have seen it at the local level. With a Muskoka-wide election of the District Chair, it is inevitable that we will see it there as well.<\/p>\n<p>The election of the District Chair at large is an edict from the Ontario Government. But other reforms to District Government in Muskoka have been on the District table. One resolution, to reduce the number of District Councillors from 22 to 12, was shot down this week. Not surprising. Only a handful would have the guts to potentially do themselves out of a second stipend. Instead, off the issue goes to a consultant. Just more money and another delay.<\/p>\n<p>District Council also voted to give seasonal residents equal weight with permanent residents when it comes to representation on District Council. In theory that sounds all right but it is unclear what it means. If it means that every property owner is counted once whether they are seasonal or permanent, that makes some sense. However, if, as reported, it is based on a Second Home Study prepared by District staff, it is possible that a person who is both a permanent resident and a cottager within the District, could be counted twice and that would be unfair. In any event, my bet is that the motion will end up adding more members to District Council and not cutting any.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I have a sinking feeling that the writing is on the wall. There is a slow but inexorable movement toward single upper-tier governance in Muskoka. This latest move by the Wynne Government to elect the District Chair at large is one more step in that direction. That, in my view, is a damn shame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
