There's only one pocket!

The mentality of having to spend money drives me absolutely crazy!

The three levels of government think they have to tax and spend. Well guess what folks there is only ONE taxpayer and the taxpayer is tapped out and had enough!

Let’s use the recent Federal Stimulus Money as an example. The projects had to be “shovel ready” and the money spent in a limited fashion and restricted time frame. So as a result you see a lot of paving companies enjoying work on repaving walking paths, some of which had no need to be done. In Mississauga we've decided that they've offered the money, so let’s use it. We've come up with projects like installing outdoor exercise equipment around Lake Aquitaine and now two of the areas are fenced off! ALL THIS JUST SO THE POLITICIANS COULD SPEND YOUR MONEY.

I would have at least asked some questions. OK what makes sense? Perhaps something like the Civic Square at City Hall...and what does not make sense? Let's not throw money away!

I understand and feel your pain. Politicians forget that there is only one taxpayer! I wouldn't throw my own money away and I will not throw your money away.

What's important to you????

As your representative on Council I will look for your feedback on all issues large and small to build a good consensus.

I know what is important to me. I know what is important to my family and I know what is important as a small business owner. I am certain that we share many of the same priorities and concerns. Yet I assume nothing and want to hear your thoughts.

I would like to hear from you. I would like to know your concerns. I would like to know what your ideas and priorities are to make our city the greatest city in Canada.

I would like you to share your imagination and together think outside the box! I look forward to your feedback.

Wishes for a Safe Labour Day Weekend!

If you were to judge by the weather you would think we are at the beginning and not the end of the summer holiday season. As everyone juggles to fit in the last few days of holidays we know that the Labour Day Weekend is the end of our summer. You may be heading to Cottage Country, going to the Exhibition, or shopping for back to school? Whatever your plans I would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Labour Day Weekend.
