Questions

1. According to Simcoe.com, when you were a councillor, you were given a conditional discharge for stealing an ATV.  Since this time, how have you grown as a person?

2.  According to New Tecumseth Times, the majority of council recently voted to see monthly reports on your taxpayer-funded credit card (p card) usage.  Why was this needed?

3.  Have you in the past or during this campaign taken any donations from developers or their family members?

Marc, can you explain why you supported deferring the proposed Sports Dome to next year’s budget because of cost concerns, when the Dome was presented as a lower-cost, revenue-generating project with an estimated tax impact of approximately 1.5% and the potential to serve a significantly larger number of users, yet you then supported Councillor Nicole Cox’s motion regarding moving forward with a new Beeton arena — a project expected to carry a substantially higher cost and tax impact and which, at this stage, has not yet gone through a final Council-approved design or recommendation?

How do you reconcile those two positions from a fiscal responsibility and taxpayer-equity perspective?

Separately, the Beeton Athletic Association publicly lists you as the winner of its $20,000 cash draw in June 2026. Given your position as a sitting member of New Tecumseth Council, and Council’s involvement in decisions concerning recreation facilities in Beeton, do you believe it was appropriate for you to participate in and accept that $20,000 prize? Did you seek any advice from the Town’s Integrity Commissioner or declare any potential conflict of interest relating to the Association or subsequent Beeton arena discussions?

Stephanie, do you support moving forward with building a new arena in Beeton if doing so requires a minimum 5.5% property-tax increase that would be borne by residents across the rest of New Tecumseth?

If yes, can you explain why you believe that level of tax increase is justified and whether you would support proceeding even if a significant number of residents outside Beeton oppose the added cost?

Why does the current Mayor support everything Flato? and use the Strong Mayor's powers also to ensure a Flato plot of Land is included in OPA5 as an expansion of Beeton, instead of the many other landowner applications?
