On Monday afternoon, by a vote of 9-5, council decided the $52 million will be used in 2013 to pay for flood related costs.
....[/LIST]Councillors who voted against:
  • Dianne Colley-Urquhart
  • Peter Demong
  • Shane Keating
  • Andre Chabot
  • Roy Jones
Ward 1 Councillor Dale Hodges was not present at the time of the vote.

The city manager predicts the total cost of flood damage to City of Calgary property could reach $500 million.
Of course she did. "Big Red" is the epitome of shortsighted NIMBYism, any chance she has to grand stand on something that'll save her constituents (sadly of which I'm one) a penny or two she's gonna do. Maybe she could go back to chasing down low income Calgarians selling their bus passes for an extra $10-20 a month.

God I hope she chooses to run against Nenshi this fall, just so she get's thrown out and put an end to her pointless & misguided grandstanding.
