Positions

4 public records across 3 topics. Read the position, proposed action, context and original evidence together.

Look for cost, timing and who has authority to act. A published statement is not automatically a complete plan or an answer to the question below. Missing records do not mean a candidate declined to answer.

Taxes & spending1 public record · 2026-09-09Below-inflation target; prioritize essential services and asset renewal.

What would you change in the budget, what would it cost, and how would you pay for it?

Public statement · 2026-09-09

Below-inflation target; prioritize essential services and asset renewal.

Proposed action: Find efficiencies and prioritize essential services and asset renewal.
Timing: 2027 budget.

Context and limits

Gilvesy links her below-inflation target to asset condition, risk and need. She identifies policing, fuel and construction pressures, and argues that deferred maintenance can raise later costs. These are her stated budget priorities; the questionnaire does not establish a costed 2027 plan.
