I don't mind raising taxes if the money is being use properly. If we need more police, firemen, paramedics and road improvement, I am all for it but City Hall has to be responsible. What I am saying is prioritize what Calgary really needs ie:

1. more Police. I don't feel safer to go downtown or anywhere else right now. With all the stupid gang killing, we need to have more police on the street.

2. On road improvement, work on the ring road(37th Street) first before you make a plan on widening 14th Street. Do not overspend on pedestrian bridge. $25M is a little crazy to spend on pedestrian bridge.

3. Do not give the city administration, managers and so on unneccessary salary raise. Then complain about no money.

4. LRT improvement, Bus system improvement and so on.
