Respect for the residents and business owners of White Rock can be achieved through
empathy, responsible taxation and appropriate neighbourhood planning; all under the
umbrella of continued public safety.
Sustainable community living through
responsible and respectful taxation,
fiscal management and public safety.
Sustainable, responsible, respectful...
for the good of all White Rock
Property Taxes:
There needs to be a respect for the citizens
and business owners of White Rock. Property
tax increases should be held to the rate of
inflation, period. Many are concerned about
increased property taxes and the ability for
White Rock citizens, especially those living on
fixed incomes, to be able to keep up with
those property tax increases.
~~~~~
I will fight to FREEZE residential and business
property taxes for the next 2-3 years.
Development:
Unbridled, unfocused development can
only be detrimental to White Rock and
its residents. There should also be a
moratorium on high-rise building
development, until those projects that
have been approved are built, and the
effects on the city’s infrastructure can
be evaluated.
Infrastructure:
There are certain capital projects that need
to be undertaken within the city in order to
keep up with our current and future
population base. This is in line with the
national and provincial initiative to upgrade
the infrastructure in the country
Counter
Public Safety:
We here in White Rock enjoy a city where
we are able to feel safe in our homes and
when we go out for walks within the
community. We pride ourselves on having a
local police force that gives us that piece
of mind. I will insure that the safety that
we have all enjoyed is maintained through
increased resource allocation to our
White Rock RCMP.
