Former councillor and MP Carolyn Parrish appears to have emerged victorious in Mississauga's mayoral race.
There were 20 candidates on the ballot, with a handful running elections competitive enough to register in the polls. Most of them were current or former city councillors. They included Dipika Damerla, Alvin Tedjo and Stephen Dasko. Brian Crombie, the ex-husband of the former mayor, was also in the running.
While she's rejected the idea of a tax freeze, Parrish has said she'd like to keep property taxes at or below the rate of inflation. She's proposed quarterly rather than annual budget meetings in order to keep the city's finances on-track. "Well, it is a big job. And I've really enjoyed Council," she said. " I've enjoyed being a city councilor much more than any of the other jobs I've done. It's a fabulous job. You don't have any partisanship. You just listen to your constituents.
