Why this issue matters

How council should publish decisions, sale proceeds, meeting records, contract impacts, candidate responses and report-card data.

Questions candidates should answer

Hydro building sale funds

What was the final sale price of the former Hydro building, who purchased it, and where did the funds go? If the funds went into general revenue, what specific budget lines or projects benefited?

Union and staff contract negotiations

What role, if any, did current council members have in recent union or staff contract negotiations? What wage, benefit, staffing or cost increases were approved, and how should residents understand the long-term budget impact?

What Ledge will look for

Specific actions rather than slogans.
Cost, source of funds and likely impact on tax base.
Which level of government or outside partner is responsible.
How residents can track progress after election day.
