Bronco's going to win easily, there really isn't much stiff competition running against him. He got bonus points recently after locking horns with the premier and not backing down until the city got it money they were promised. As an outside observer to this I think it's about time some diversity (as far as alderman / women) got added to City Hall. We are a diverse city and it should show a little with the people making decisions for our city. Should be interesting, I went to an open debate a few years back and Madeline King spent the entire session trying to get the name of "Alderman" switched because she thought it was sexist. She wanted "Alderperson" or something. Many of the observers left shaking there heads cause the city had 4 murders over the past 2 weeks at that time and she was going on and on about this name change?? Then recently you had Craig Burrows take a course of some kind at the U of C spending $12,000 on it and charging the tax payers for it. Also I know a lot of people are choked at some of the Alderman who have C-Train parking in there zone (which is most of them) for the lack of security or patrolling at parking lots. People pay freakin $75 (pass) to ride transit a month, which is strongly encouraged by City Hall to prevent the busy traffic / congestion down town only to come back to your car to find it has wither been broken into or stolen. I read a letter one time in the Herald where a person had there car broken into 10 times in a year at Chinook. (bad Luck!).
