Dear Friends, I have created this site in thanks to the constituents whom I have had the privilege of representing for three terms of office.
I have striven to be the kind of representative I believe our community needs: Someone who values fairness and integrity, and who stands on the side of the residents of Niagara Falls. Someone who does their homework, is an articulate voice for the people they represent, and who is not afraid to stand on the courage of their convictions.
My deepening concerns about fiscal accountability are being increasingly echoed by others, including financial consultants and City staff. We are poised to be $78 million dollars in debt by 2008, and taxes are anticipated – if we continue on this road – to rise dramatically. Meanwhile, we will continue to underfund our basic infrastructure needs, to our detriment.
I have a vision: It is a vision of Niagara Falls remaining an affordable place to live and invest in the future. I have been fighting for fiscal responsibility and for the proper funding of our roads, sewers and water main infrastructure for years. I want to continue to work to bring fiscal responsibility to Council's spending and to ensure that the infrastructure on which we all rely is properly maintained.
Thanks for stopping by! Janice
