Municipal governments are a total disaster, ours in particular has two members, including the Mayor who are failed liberal candidates and another whose mother was a liberal MLA. Its no wonder they have no self control when it comes to spending. All they do is try to figure out who is going to pay for the promises they've made; guess what? us the tax payer, that's who. Our city council decided on a ($6.5 million) budget back in 2013? to upgrade an outdoor pool, well after the city began demolition, only one company submitted a tender and it came in at over $10 million, so now by the summer of 2016, the pool should be ready to reopen, one year late and 65% over budget.
