Guy Desjardins launches his mayoral run
ROCKLAND | «My name is Guy Desjardins, and I am running for the position of mayor of the City of Clarence-Rockland.» With that opening introduction, the sole declared and registered candidate for the mayor’s seat in the October municipal election in Clarence-Rockland outlined his policy platform during his official campaign launch June 23. “For the past four years now, the lack of leadership at city council has made it a dys- functional mess. I will be a real leader, an or- ganizer, a man of action to work with others to achieve our goals.
“As soon as I am elected mayor, I will meet with all the elected councillors with as little delay as possible to put together a unified team with just one goal: to serve the citi- zens of Clarence-Rockland as best we can. It is important for council to regain the con- fidence of the people, as well as developers and also of its own staff. The division and mistrust that has existed over the last four years must be repaired. It is imperative that we regain the confidence of our stakehold- ers. “As mayor, I will do everything in my pow- er to present a budget with no tax increase.
“In preparing our first budget, we will re- view all services and adjustments will be made as required. We will stop ordering a lot of studies which end up tabled with no action taken on their recommendations. This review of municipal expenses will not be limited to holding back on any tax in- crease. We will also look at cost-savings with the money saved going towards our infrastructure. “That will be my number one priority dur- ing the first year of the new council’s man- date. It is clear that I will require council to stop chopping away at community services
in the budget, as has been typical for the past two municipal budgets. Our young parents depend on municipal programs to bring up their children in an environment that offers essential services. More than ever, we need to offer sustainable programs that are affordable. We all have a vision for our city and how it should operate. “The new council will give clear directions to its staff and then we will leave them to do their jobs without hindrance. The daily operation of the city is the job of the mu- nicipal employees, and we should trust and respect them.”
