Saskatoon mayoral candidate Cary Tarasoff has recently revealed his financial platform, which includes critiques of the city’s spending. Tarasoff, who is running for mayor in the upcoming municipal election, believes that the city’s budget needs to be reevaluated in order to better serve the needs of its residents.
During a press conference held at City Hall, Tarasoff outlined his plan to address what he sees as wasteful spending by the current city administration. He pointed out several areas where he believes the city could cut costs, such as reducing the number of consultants hired and streamlining the procurement process.
Tarasoff also expressed concern over the city’s debt, which he believes has been steadily increasing over the years. He stated that if elected, he would work towards reducing the city’s debt and ensuring that taxpayer money is being used efficiently.
In addition to his critiques of the city’s spending, Tarasoff also presented his own proposals for how the city’s budget should be allocated. He emphasized the importance of investing in infrastructure, particularly in areas that have been neglected in the past. He also highlighted the need for increased funding for social services and affordable housing.
When asked about his qualifications to handle the city’s finances, Tarasoff pointed to his background in business and finance. He stated that his experience in managing budgets and making strategic financial decisions has prepared him for the role of mayor.
Tarasoff’s financial platform has received mixed reactions from other mayoral candidates. Some have praised his ideas for cutting costs and investing in important areas, while others have criticized his lack of specific details and questioned the feasibility of his proposals.
The municipal election will take place on November 9th, and Tarasoff’s financial platform is sure to be a key topic of discussion among voters. As the race for mayor heats up, it remains to be seen how Tarasoff’s ideas will resonate with the citizens of Saskatoon.
