Where they stand
Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 17 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.
Taxes & spending
What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?
This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.
Jackson would control taxes with recurring City Hall savings, salary controls, fewer outside contracts and an auditor general.
- Would find an annual recurring savings at City Hall, control salaries, and reduce outside contracting and consulting costs.
- Would retain an auditor general and institute anti-corruption policies to increase competition in procurement.
- Would complete a land value audit to lower operating expenses and divest unnecessary real estate, growing the tax base without raising taxes.
“We can control taxes by finding an annual recurring savings at city hall, controlling salaries, and reducing outside contracting and consulting costs. We can retain an auditor general and institute my anti-corruption policies to increase competition in procurement and lower the cost of running the city.”

Transit
Can I get where I need to go without driving?
Jackson would fix Brampton Transit route by route, costing 10-minute-or-better peak service on crowded corridors and publishing results.
- Route-by-route review of passenger loads, missed trips, delays and buses passing full riders
- Cost service every 10 minutes or better at peak on overcrowded corridors, with results published by route and time of day
- Stabilize existing service and ease overcrowding rather than making riders wait for a major construction project

Government
Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?
Jackson's accountability posts question the city's debt schedule on the Innovation Centre and an $80M building/empty-office problem.
