A little about me.

Build our reserves.

When there's a surplus, save it, and grow the reserve fund every year, so the Town isn't forced into big tax increases when costs rise.

Ask residents first.

Get public input before any major, expensive project. Milton residents are smart, and they'll find savings staff might miss.

Review every contract.

Check existing contracts for gaps, and test whether other contractors can do the same work for less.

Partner with the private sector.

Use public-private partnerships for entertainment squares, recreation centres and other public spaces.

Make developers finish the job.

Developers should maintain new subdivisions longer before the Town takes them over.

Adopt-a-street and adopt-a-park.

Let local businesses sponsor maintenance of streets and parks, as other towns already do.

Enforce the rules.

Stronger enforcement against reckless driving and other offences. Safety comes first, and offenders, not taxpayers, carry the cost.
