Hi, I'm James O'Grady and I'm running for Ottawa City Council in Ward 9, Knoxdale Merivale
because I believe Ottawa needs strong community leadership. Values like: community engagement;
fiscal responsibility; economic development; and good sound management.
Instead we have a city that is dysfunctional, that makes bad decisions without our input.
Decisions that end up costing too much money and causing taxes to rise. The great pride
we once all shared in Nepean in waning and I believe this needs to change.
For a city to succeed it must reflect the character of its residents . If we want Ottawa
to become a truly successful, sustainable city, a city that is ready to takes its place
as a leader of capital cities on the world stage, then we must insist that our city engages
and empowers its residents, runs efficiently and effectively at all times, is accountable
and transparent, responds to the needs of its residents, and has a clear plan for the
future.
