[1] After becoming Mayor, one of Archer's most noted legacy was to eliminate the city's business tax.
[1] The tax, which had caused much controversy among the business community of Regina, had been introduced prior to Archer becoming Mayor, and was replaced by persuading the then Government of Saskatchewan to make payments to all municipalities in the province to compensate for a lack of property taxes.
As Regina's Mayor, Archer was elected to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors, serving for twelve years.
[1] Archer and his wife Gloria have three children, all of whom live in the Regina area.
Through Knight-Archer Insurance Services, the couple are currently active participants in the city's business community.
