Good Roads In Our Communities. Every dollar invested into properly maintaining roads saves six to ten dollars in reconstruction later on. And smart investment in road infrastructure makes life safer and more enjoyable for motorists, cyclists, public tranport, and the efficient flow of first responders, goods and services within our city. People are telling me the current deteriorating conditions of arterial roads is unacceptable. I agree. We must do a better job. We need a long-term funding plan to impro...

http://amarjeetsohi.com/Issues/Debt

No one likes debt, and as Edmontonians talk about it in relation to the City, some misunderstandings enter the discussion. Unlike the provincial and federal governments, the City is not legally allowed to run a deficit for day-to-day operations, so we cannot take on debt for normal operations. Far from assuming debt, we have built up a reserve of approximately $100 million to cover against unforeseen shortfalls in the operating budget. The new City Council must ensure decisions about debt are guided by e...

A Better Deal For Cities: Municipal Funding. An inadequate outdated funding structure forces municipalities to struggle to serve people well. Municipalities are too limited in how they generate revenue for their work. The new City Council needs to make it a top priority to get a new deal on municipal funding. Of each dollar a person pays in taxes, the federal government gets 66 cents, the province, 28 cents, and the City only about six. Orders of government need to work together so revenue from taxpayers...
