Nenshi has been the mayor since 2010 and has given us what?
- cycle track
- higher property taxes
- public art
- higher business taxes
- Olympic bid
- library
- dance center
Remember that the majority of city spending goes to city worker salaries, wages, and benefits. The majority of that money goes to police services. That's people writing you tickets for going 60 in a 50 zone. Just what we need... Any mayor that doesn't have an adversarial relationship with the police, firefighter, and public sector unions is not representing the interests of the taxpayer, but is instead a union puppet. All the public art, etc is a smoke show hiding the real cash flows.
Remember the Sunshine list? It's not going away and won't until Nenshi is gone.
