Kim Zippel ready to fight for Otonabee Ward One citizens

-

Let’s reclaim the city for hard-working taxpayers!

City council has made major planning decisions that will impact the tax burden and quality of life for Otonabee Ward residents. As a long-time resident of the south end, I’m concerned that no one on council has been standing up for our interests. Otonabee Ward deserves better: better protection, better planning, and better representa­tion. As your representa­tive, I promise that I will be transparen­t, involve you in planning decisions, and oppose changes that are not in your best interests. In particular, I will fight to:

Spend your tax dollars wisely

Let’s stop wasting money on unneeded studies and consultant­s and start investing in infrastruc­ture improvemen­ts, affordable housing, and strengthen­ing the local economy.

Grow strong by growing smart

We need to manage our growth in a way that maintains our services and infrastruc­ture, reduces traffic congestion, protects the environmen­t, and minimizes the financial burden on taxpayers.

Maintain ownership of public services

Water and electricit­y are essential public services that should be provided by your city and not by outside, for-profit companies - and if citizens don’t want to sell, then council should honour that decision.
