TO COST MORE
Three Priorities. One Goal.
PLATFORM POINT 1: REAL TAX RELIEF
Give taxpayers room to breathe.
That freeze isn’t a blank check to keep spending as-is — it comes paired with a full, line-by-line operational review of city spending to find real savings. That review will not touch frontline services like police and fire. Instead, it targets the layers of management and duplication that have crept into city hall over time.
Dan’s goal is to flatten the organizational chart, eliminate duplication, and put an end to what he calls “intentional over-taxation” — with real, sustained tax reductions to follow once the freeze proves the city can do more with what it already collects.
WHERE DAN STANDS
Two-year freeze on property tax increases
Full operational review of City spending
Protect frontline services like police and fire
Flatten management and eliminate duplication
Pursue real tax reductions after the freeze
EVERY DOLLAR SHOULD HAVE TO ANSWER FOR ITSELF.
PLATFORM POINT 2: SAFER STREETS
Public safety should be responsive, not passive.
Dan is advocating for the City to fund four lawyers embedded directly with the Prince George RCMP detachment to assist with the day-to-day administration of justice. Just as importantly, these lawyers would be positioned to pursue private prosecutions under Sections 504 and 507 of the Criminal Code in the cases where Crown prosecutors decline to advance charges the police recommended.
Dan’s position is straightforward: public safety policy should be responsive, not passive, when the gap between a police recommendation and a Crown decision leaves victims and neighbourhoods without answers.
WHERE DAN STANDS
Fund four lawyers embedded with the Prince George RCMP
Assist with day-to-day administration of justice
Pursue private prosecutions where appropriate under Sections 504 and 507
Demand a more responsive approach when police recommend charges
PLATFORM POINT 3: BOLD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Prince George needs to go get the jobs.
Dan believes Prince George needs to go get the jobs, not wait for them. That means proactive, hands-on business attraction: direct outreach to prospective employers, rather than another glossy brochure sitting on a shelf.
And it starts from a foundation of fiscal discipline and public safety — because low taxes and safe streets are the first steps to attracting jobs and improving lives. You can’t out-market a reputation for high costs and declining safety; you have to fix the fundamentals first, then go sell the city with confidence.
WHERE DAN STANDS
Actively attract employers and investment
Direct outreach to prospective employers
Build economic development on low taxes and safe streets
