Reynolds was well-known for her vocal support of transparency and accountability during that council term and her no-nonsense issue management skills.

“I am pleased to be bringing my council experience back to the table and I am looking forward to representing the citizens of Ward 11 again. There is much work to be done in many areas, not the least of which is to re-inspire our citizens and create confidence in this new Council so we can move ahead with assurance that our tax dollars are being spent in the most important areas, in the most efficient ways. I believe that experience will count in this new term of Council.

“Furthermore, I feel that we are not getting full value for our tax dollars, that there are many efficiencies to be had and that policy needs to be renewed to keep both our council and our executive staff accountable and very seriously responsible for taxpayer dollars.

“I am in favour of a permanent Auditor-General’s office, the immediate termination of the council’s slush funds, the no-nonsense provision of essential services,  the re-hiring of the Ontario Ombudsman and a top-to-bottom review of how our city is managed, with particular attention to the budget process. In short, I intend to work to help create an attractive and affordable city.

“Cities are where people live, work and raise families. This implies job creation through smart economic development, good livable, well-developed neighbourhoods and adequate healthy quality of life for all.  I will continue to champion smart development, economic vitality and a standard of excellence in all we do.

As a councillor, Reynolds was supportive of the arts community and sat on the Greater Sudbury Library board.
