That description fits for most of council and probably whoever eventually wins the mayor's seat in October as well. I can't recall the exact figures, but I think over half of the campaign contributions for all the council members come from the development industry. That's not only a Calgary phenomenon either. Municipal politicians everywhere are usually well funded by either the development industry, unions, or both.
