Milton must place strict requirements on developers to maintain its unique character before the town becomes indistinguishable from the sprawl to our east.

• Urban Plan: Milton needs an urban plan that enhances its distinct small-town character before it is lost forever.
• Hospital: The Province gives priority to municipalities that demonstrate the ability to fund their share of the hospital.  Milton has to continue lobbying the province while maintaining full commitment of funding its share.
• Infrastructure before growth: Roads, bridges, transit and schools need to be built as new subdivisions are developed, not years later.
• Project Management: Infrastructure contracts should have penalties for missing deadlines without acceptable justification. 
• Subdivision Management: Developers should be required to phase in community entrances and exits as a subdivision develops (eg. Dymott and Landsborough should have connected to Tremaine earlier in 2010 to divert traffic away from the Scott & Derry intersection)
• Sustainability: Milton needs strict sustainability standards, similar to the North Oakville Official Plan, that protects our town’s vistas, character and lifestyle.
• Parking: Milton’s 3-hour parking bylaw should be eased to allow at least 5 hours of parking.

The sad fact is that people who work in Milton often cannot afford to live here.

• Competitiveness: Milton should lobby Halton to  reform its commercial development-fee structure to become competitive with other municipalities.
• Small Businesses: Milton must make it trivial for small businesses to navigate bureaucracy.

Good traffic management improves safety, enhances air quality, reduces wear and tear on vehicles and saves money.

• Traffic Lights: Milton must synchronize traffic lights on major roads to optimize traffic flow.
• Right-turn Lanes: Lack of dedicated right-turn lanes in Milton wastes time and increases pollution.
• Traffic Calming: Local roads, like Scott Blvd, must have traffic calming devices to reduce speeding and to improve pedestrian safety.
• Signalled Crosswalks: Neighbourhood streets, such as Scott Blvd, must have signalled crosswalks near parks and elementary schools.
• Transit: Milton has an inadequate transit system for a town that will soon hit 100,000 people.  This requires the town to build more paved roads.

If elected, I promise to be accessible, transparent and representative.

• Accountability: You may disagree with me but you will always know exactly where I stand on each issue.
• Transparency: All Council meeting must be broadcasted and archived on the internet.
• Openness: As part of my promise of transparency, I am publishing all campaign donations on my website.

As a single-income family of five, my own family is very sensitive to any tax increase.

• Lower Operating Cost: Shifting costs to developer-funded capital budget from property-tax-funded capital budget directly lowers taxes.  For instance, LED traffic lights cost developers more to install, but saves tax-payers since they are significantly cheaper to operate and maintain.
• Rigorous Auditing: Like any private enterprise, the town must periodically review all expenses to find optimizations. 
• Business Property Taxes: Businesses pay a higher tax rate, thus reducing the reliance on residential property taxes.
