Regional and city councillor Tito-Dante Marimpietri aims to enhance Oshawa’s commercial and industrial tax base to lessen the financial load on residents. He plans to do this partly by bringing in new businesses and investments.
In his initial 100 days, he wants to assess budget pressures, discretionary spending, and reserves to identify savings opportunities.
He also seeks to create a budgeting framework that keeps municipal tax hikes at or below inflation rates.

Derek Giberson has pointed out that municipal and regional governments have limited tools compared to provincial or federal authorities regarding affordability, but can still influence it through housing initiatives.
His primary focus is on providing more affordable non-profit housing options that can lower living expenses.
He also supports keeping public services like libraries free while ensuring paid programs remain affordable, with reduced fees available for those in need.
