Two city-wide priorities, and how to achieve them

• Transparency: points to his motion training staff on documents that can be routinely released, and wants all vendor contracts made public in the new term.
• Gun and gang violence: work with police and the community to keep young people from being drawn into gangs; says Ward 9 needs more officers on the street rather than waiting in a satellite office.

Two changes to improve City services

• Create a city comptroller for oversight of spending, arguing the same people who recommend spending decide it (cites Barton and Tiffany).
• Clean up the city’s appearance: potholes, graffiti and litter, with more than one annual cleanup.

Two changes to improve quality of life in Hamilton

• Parks and playgrounds: replace playgrounds more often, add water fountains and shade structures (he’s used ward reserves, and is working on a Summit Park splash pad).

Two priorities for Ward 9

• Relieve gridlock: finish the Upper Red Hill Valley Parkway extension and the Link widening.
• End the GFL landfill stink: notes the city lacks legal authority but says he is working to get the landfill closed as quickly as possible.

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

Effective, ethical, respectful.
