08:25, I recalled that it came up earlier in the term when Cllr Buck had a go at Cllr Pirri over it. It apparently mattered  then

********************

When George Timpson was a member of Council, he  lived at home. 

He made a point of paying the taxes on his parents property . He made sure people were aware .

It mattered then.

Chris Emmanuel lived at home with his parents when he was elected. He moved afterwards .

It mattered then 

Councillor Betty Pedersen married and moved to Newmarket and although she still owned property in Aurora,, she did not run again  for Council

Councillor Pedersen had built a reputation and was held in high regard.

Lots of things are legal. But in politics they matter.

    So, it must matter about the present candidate for council.

  2. Mr Weir seemed surprised that there were no late registering candidates from our last council. I was not at all surprised. One never sees any of them in town .
