But was he acting within his capacity as mayor or was he acting as a means of furthering his re-election campaign?
Since it was part of his campaign I'd say he wasn't acting as mayor, that's not from the sounds of it what Wenzel is suing over.
And if that's the case then Nenshi should be on the hook for his own lawyer and not a city lawyer at the cost to the taxpayer.
If it was something that Nenshi said in chamber or in an official capacity then you could argue that the city is liable and Wenzel would have sued the city.
