FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 SURVEY SAYS. . .
 Municipal Candidates’ Survey Results Launched on Website

HALIFAX - The Community Election Committee (CEC), a local Halifax group,
today launched their website to release the responses of candidates in
the municipal election, to a survey on various election issues.

The website, located at 
http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/politicalaction 
is designed so that people can see how candidates running in their
district, as well as candidates for mayor, responded to the CEC survey
(copy attached)  which was sent out on September 19. 

Main issues in the survey are in the areas of:
? Accountability
? Public Ownership and Control of Services
? Service Cuts
? Labour Relations
? General, including Harbour Solutions Project, Transportation,
Supplementary School Board Funding and Pesticide By-law

“We are quite pleased with the number of responses we received, even
though many candidates didn’t respond at all” said Cliff White,
spokesperson for the group.  “As well, some of the responses show that
there are candidates running in this election who have obviously done
their homework on what we feel are very important issues in this
election.”

Responses to the survey are recorded verbatim as they were  received, so
that voters can see exactly how their candidates feel about the issues.
The website is still under construction, but when all responses are on
the site, a notice will go on, informing which candidates did not
respond to the survey.
