Rick Kerr – Why I am running for re-election as Regional and City Councillor for Ward 4

I urge you to examine my "Goals and Visions for Oshawa's Future", where I list and describe my "9-Point Plan".

I have more projects coming which greatly benefit from the information I can promptly acquire due to the solid work relationships I have developed with staff, at both the Region and the City. One level of government information positively impacts the other. Some of my current projects will not be completed this term and will require my ongoing stewardship to see them through.

So, you be the judge. Is it "time for a change", as some say, or is it time for stability and continuation of performance and advancement of our City with these upcoming projects in these developing times? Something which, as an experienced and achieving Councillor with a proven track record who is also known for helping residents - and quickly, I believe I have demonstrably provided.

Rick Kerr – Who I am and what I stand for

I taught ethics in the Police Foundations program at Durham College for 10 years. Being ethical means, “It’s not what you do when people are watching; it’s what you do when they’re not.” My father was with CIBC for 46 years. I grew up with financial accountability. My wife and I own our own home. I do not like to see taxpayers’ hard-earned money being overspent, and I will work tirelessly to ensure we are getting the fullest value for our tax dollars. I live my life by the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I believe any new policy, procedure, or by-law should follow “The Harm Principle”: Will this action cause harm or potential harm to others? If so, either don’t do it or find an alternative that doesn’t.
