what you can count on me for

I entered this race because I want to make a difference in ward 13 and in Toronto.Here are a few things you can count on if you elect me.1. I believe in community consultation and communication. I will ask you for your opinions at meetings, in surveys, electronically and on paper. My job is to be available and hear from you.2. I am accountable to you. I will report to you, be available to you and represent you. You will be invited to comment on my work and our issues.3. When I need to make a decision or vote I will look at it from a place of sustaining the community. I will ask if this decision will serve and empower the community in the short term AND will the decision positively impact the community in the long term.4. I am committed to ward 13 growing, developing and the community being proud of and involved in its growth. I have the same commitment to the City of Toronto. You can count on me to work with city staff, fellow City Councillors, and the Mayor to get the job done in a timely fashion with all parties being respected. I can be counted on to work with parliamentary rules to move the issue forward not to hold it back.5. You can count on me to be at Council Meetings and actively voting and debating to resolve issues or move them forward.6. Toronto is now the 6th largest government in Canada. I take the new powers and responsibilities attached to this seriously and will not support using these powers for quick fixes and fast tax grabs.7. I will work with Police and City Staff to create a community driven plan for traffic safety.8. I support Toronto's Environmental Plan9. I support Youth involvement and consultation on issues.10. I will give you all I have to give.
