“I don't know yet,” said Bud Clayton when asked if he was planning to seek re-election as mayor of North Frontenac after one four-year term. “If things remain the way they are now, I would say it would be no, but things can change.”
Clayton added that he had not planed to run during the last election in 2010, but decided at the last minute to give former Deputy Mayor Jim Beam a run for his money since there were no other candidates coming forward. He ended up winning.
“I don't want to hang on past my best-before date,” Clayton said this week, “but I have not made a final decision by any means.”
Gutowski leaning towards running in Central Frontenac
“In all likelihood I will be running,” two-time incumbent Janet Gutowski said when asked if she was going to run for a third term as mayor of Central Frontenac.
“I'm very committed to this township and I think there is still a lot to be accomplished,” she said.
Among the issues that Gutowski will be addressing during the election year are seniors’ housing and the future of service delivery in Central Frontenac.
“I can see us seeking partnerships with other townships and a continued role for Frontenac County as well,” she said.
“Provincial policies are always impacting us as a township, and the City of Kingston has an impact on our residents on a daily basis because they run our social services. It is only through the county that we can even talk to them; there is no other venue.”
