Many people in Greater Sudbury’s outlying communities feel the city’s urban areas get too much attention and too much tax money. We asked the candidates for their ideas on how this could be addressed
As part of our 2022 municipal election coverage, Sudbury.com crafted an eight-query questionnaire for mayoral candidates, asking them to share their thoughts, opinions and strategies on everything from taxation to facilities rationalization to their leadership styles. We will be publishing the responses to each question in individual stories over the coming days. Each candidate was contacted by email several times to provide the questions and invite their participation.
The Question: While some people feel the economic and social well-being of downtown Sudbury needs serious attention, others, particularly those living outside the core of the city, feel it gets too much attention and tax dollars to begin with. What city services could be decentralized to be more responsive to the needs of outlying communities?Economic, social, and the environmental well-being of our entire city is essential to all the residents.
