Milton mayoral candidate Nadeem Akbar is promising a tax freeze and zero-based budgeting if elected on Oct. 26. 🗳️
“Families and seniors are under financial pressure, and council has a responsibility to scrutinize how public money is spent,” said Akbar, an executive vice president of technology at BIA Group.
He proposes freezing tax increases until an audit is completed and requiring town departments to justify spending, “examining existing spending as well as new proposals, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.”
Akbar also emphasizes “complete communities”, ensuring new housing comes with infrastructure, recreational services and local job opportunities. He sits on the Halton Police Board and ran for the Conservatives in last year’s federal election.
