Martin Medeiros

When the watchdog group told council to restart the cancelled investigations, Medeiros stood up and said yes, let's do that. Eight others said no. He was also one of just two votes against shutting the investigations down in the first place, and he keeps asking for an independent auditor — someone whose whole job is watching city spending. Brampton still doesn't have one, even though experts have been saying to hire one since 2017. He misses more meetings than his colleagues, but on the big questions, he's been on your side every time.
