Jeff Leiper’s Bold Plan for City Leadership
from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Jeff Leiper, a seasoned council member with deep City Hall experience, is running for mayor with a bold plan to hit the ground running. He’s prioritizing transit revival—reversing bus cuts, rolling out electric fleets, and guaranteeing service reliability—with citizen reps on the transit commission to rebuild trust. On housing, he supports zoning reforms but insists the city must actively build 1,500 affordable units yearly using public land, removing profit motives to tackle affordability. He’s pushing for radical transparency, demanding earlier budget input from residents and full cost disclosure. For public safety, he insists police budget hikes must fund community alternatives like outreach teams, using provincial savings to keep neighborhoods safe without relying solely on traditional policing.
