Two city-wide priorities, and how to achieve them

• Fiscal responsibility: says council delivered a 23% property tax increase this term and that Hamilton can’t keep raising taxes and spending at that rate; wants to treat taxpayers’ money with the care families treat their own.
• Core services and community safety: roads, parks, transit, infrastructure and safe neighbourhoods first, before expanding into new programs.

Two changes to improve City services

• Better accountability: bring the city’s required financial statements up to date, set clear service standards and ownership, and improve communication.
• Focus on core services (roads, parks, garbage collection, bylaw enforcement, infrastructure maintenance) before launching new initiatives.

Two changes to improve quality of life in Hamilton

• Safer neighbourhoods and public spaces: make sure police have the resources to put officers in identified problem areas.
• Accountability and transparency to rebuild trust, citing big property tax increases, no service increases and hundreds of new staff.

Two priorities for Ward 15

• Affordability: says residents don’t feel they get value for the 23% tax increase.
• Rebuild trust and be heard: return to the basic services residents rely on every day.

Three words for a four-year term (looking back from September 2030)

Accessible, accountable, and hardworking.
