I need just one foolish”personal legacy/ vision” capital project.
So the city grew from a few hundred thousand to well over a million since the last Mayor and then Nenshi..what was he supposed to do? taxes should have stayed the same? Who pays for the infastructre? Look how hard it was to get a goddamn runway.
