Issues

Prudent financial management
As a two time elected Trustee, I am on the Budget and Audit committee of a large Public Board with 5500 employees, 97 buildings, 57,000 students, and an operating budget of over half a billion dollars a year.

Closing Thoughts

My wife and I moved with our two boys into Ward 5 in 1989.

I was elected Trustee of the Public School Board in 2003, again in 2006, then Board Chair in 2008.

There, I've kept green space green with the upcoming sale of Lorne Skuce and White Oaks lands to another School Board – not developers, installed thousands of watts of solar energy, always voted for balanced budgets, and still brought 12 million dollars of improvement into Ward 5.

As a retired successful business person I will work full time for you if elected as your Town and Regional Councillor.

I'm asking for your vote.
