Jaison Waldman
Mayor
The local chambers of commerce and Businesses Improvement Associations advocate well for local businesses. Unity will have a greater impact. A greater vision is needed to be able to harness the magnitude of talent and skills available locally and within Simcoe County. If we become more competitive we can do more than just keep local money but provide a viable option for all Canadians to buy our products and services.
Too much of our projects are going to suppliers elsewhere. Purchasing decisions are often made by people who don't live here, so they don't share our concerns. With visionary leadership we can anchor future projects in NewTecumseth and Simcoe County.

Are there tax hikes planned for 2027? Taxes are high already in Alliston
Answer
If elected the first priority will be the 2027 budget. My plan is simple. Keep taxes low by finding efficiencies and removing expenses from the towns budget that do not benefit residents. A budget under my leadership will also be a collaborative effort with all of council that also includes the residents. You should know where your tax dollars are going without being an accountant.
