I don't think its my demise. I'm just pretty conservative fiscally. I have a hard time saying that the city should spend money that was basically found money for them. At the same time, I would like to see reductions in other areas to keep taxes/spending in check (for example the police budget). The frustration I have there is that as soon as its mentioned that they should trim they immediately tell us how many front line positions are to be cut to meet that....because apparently there is nowhere else left to trim?
While it does surprise me to some extent to agree with anything that DCU advocates, I'm not exactly alone here. I mean yesterday there were at least a couple votes regarding wage freezes that Nenshi and DCU voted the same. To me that's the great thing about civic politics; you're not pigeon-holed into a particular position because of a party label or anything and you might be conservative on some things and liberal on others.
