‘Pretty much everybody here has never attended a council meeting,’ he said during the event, also challenging three fellow candidates to come up with Greater Sudbury’s 2022 operating budget
Incumbent Brian Bigger threw a few barbs at the candidates hoping to replace him as the mayor of Greater Sudbury at an Oct. 1 election debate.
Eight of nine candidates running for mayor locally participated – Bigger, Evelyn Dutrisac, Don Gravelle, Bob Johnston, Devin Labranche, Paul Lefebvre, Miranda Rocca-Circelli and Mila Wong. “If you would follow the budget process, if you had any interest in being there, you probably know how big the budget is,” he said.
“We have been investing significantly more money in capital and fixing the roads than any previous city council, and we've been following long term plans and strategies,” Bigger said. “A decade of no tax increase, you’re stealing money from capital and not fixing the roads.” As part of the section of the debate dealing with homelessness in the downtown core, Bob Johnston, an advocate for the city’s vulnerable population, had some harsh words for the city’s response to these issues during the pandemic.
