Don't agree. Why didn't I get to vote on the airport tunnel which I see no sense in building? Point is, Nenshi is the elected mayor, if he wants to build new library or arts programs, he should do it within the budget. It is sneaky to introduce a 1% tax calling it penny tax and hope no one will notice.
If every time a hospital, road, school needs to be built, a new tax is introduced, hey, I can do that job too. The tough part is to build this within your means or budget.
