Keith Gerein: Tim Cartmell makes his pitch to be a mayor of modesty for Edmonton

68% Informative

Coun. Tim Cartmell is running for Edmonton 's next mayor in unusual way — by promising nothing.

It's a decidedly unsexy way to run a campaign, but it may also be the game plan Edmonton needs right now.

Instead of pledging investments in new things right now, he wants to prioritize repairs to things that he sees as broken.

Tim Cartmell says Edmonton city hall can be more effective if it is governed by a bunch of teammates that have been practicing together for months ahead of time rather than having a collection of strangers try to figure it out together.

His comments revealed a further evolution of his views on municipal parties, which have moved from initially decrying their introduction to reluctantly embracing their financial advantages to now touting some political benefits as well.
