It’s been a privilege to serve with Alex Wilson. They are a remarkable person who brings intelligence, integrity & passion to their public service. The residents of Dundas and all of Hamilton owe Alex a debt of gratitude for the difference they have made. My very best wishes in their next chapter.

I appreciate your reporting on the HCA. I advanced the new reporting process to daylight HCA member remuneration.I’m pretty sure I passed along my entire remuneration to the Conservation Foundation, the charitable fundraising arm of HCA. They do outstanding work. I’ve never charged for mileage.

Elected officials shouldn’t have the power to vote against traffic signals or lower speed limits. I don’t think this because I don’t believe in democracy; I think this because I believe in evidence-based placemaking & city-building. Safer streets shouldn’t be situational or left up to a vote.
