POLL: Expect a minor tax increase in 2014: Mayor
In a single word, Prince Albert Mayor Greg Dionne described his first calendar year in office.
“Forward,” he said.
It’s been more than a year since Dionne was first elected, and a little more than 11 months after he delivered his first State of the City address in January. On Dec. 23, Dionne said this year, city council moved a lot of things the councillors said they would, forward.
“We moved forward our very successful paving program for 2013. We moved forward to make the commission, the police commission run by civilians over politicians. We’ve moved forward in communicating to the public. I thought we’ve done a lot better job at that. We’ve moved forward in making positive staff changes. We’ve moved forward in changing the attitude at City Hall from a taxpayer to being more customer-service friendly. And we’re going to continue that trend of moving forward into 2014.”
