My commitment to voters

I will fight for sound government if elected by:

  1. Supporting open and transparent administration of government policies
  2. Supporting term limits for City Councillors and the Mayor
  3. Lowering property taxes and repealing the Toronto Land Transfer Tax
  4. Focusing spending on infrastructure like roads, the sewage system, the water system and public transit and eliminating duplication, waste and non-essential spending
  5. Being fiscally responsible, I will support balanced budgets and debt elimination to reduce costs to the taxpayer

Heath’s steps to fiscal well-being for the City of Toronto

  1. Privatize garbage collection by contracting it out to private garbage companies, which will reduce overhead costs to the City
  2. We could sell City owned land that is being unused and pay off the City's debt.
  3. Establish with the proceeds from the sale of unused City owned land, a rainy day fund to protect against future deficits to keep taxes down
  4. Another possibility is the sale of Toronto Hydro as well if the City can get a deal that makes financial sense.
  5. Support an effort to make the TTC profitable and financially self-sufficient while maintaining a high level of accessibility and excellent customer service for the people of Toronto and Ward 44 or turn it over to the province.
  6. Sell the City owned ski hills and contract out services for rinks and other services that could be operated by private enterprise.
  7. Implement a hiring freeze at City Hall and seek to reduce the size of the City Hall bureaucracy over the long term to reduce labour costs where possible.

Surplus = yes, over-taxing = yes!
