Oh yeah, I actually can think of one AWESOME thing that Redford's done (or more accurately, that her government's done) - "she" eliminated the property tax "mitigation formula".

Here's an article that talks about it, with a very negative perspective, but the flip side of having places like Chestermere's taxes go up is that Calgary and Edmonton get tax space vacated... and I've been told that that amount of money the province has vacated to the city is enough for Calgary to build the full BRT network in the RouteAhead plan over 10 years.
