Edmonton AB — “Any politician advocating for more politics in the delivery of major projects in Edmonton should create cause for concern by all Edmontonians.” said Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson, president of TAPYEG.
TAPYEG reiterates its vision for a City with simplified politics, open arms to new ideas, and excellence in delivery of the basics.
“The reality here is making a local government bigger, consolidating control, and placing blame does not reconcile in a practical sense nor is it leadership. It will cost taxpayers more and less will get done.” said Hansen-Carlson.
TAPYEG has been clear that the expertise to build and maintain Edmonton’s infrastructure does exist and should exist within the Administration and that those experts need to be trusted and empowered, not criticized.
“We have some really remarkable people that work for the City. They are engineers, they are first responders, they are librarians. The last thing they, and our City’s partners, wish for is more politics or confrontation.” said Stephen Hammerschmidt, TAPYEG City Center Ward Champion.
TAPYEG welcomes Clr. Cartmell’s desire to make this topic a principal one during the next local election because it is critically important. The TAPYEG team looksforward to future opportunities to discuss real ways to build Edmonton better. (PR)
