While blaming Mayor Naheed Nenshi for previous failures at resolving Calgary’s tax crisis, a majority of city council is now backing a proposal to slash commercial tax bills this year by 10 per cent and institute budget cuts that could result in city layoffs.
“Council dropped the ball,” said Coun. Evan Woolley. “And I’m particularly disappointed that the mayor has been unable to champion council and rally everybody around some significant relief for the business community and the city.”

Finally someone is speaking out against his purpleness and his astonishing lack of leadership.
It just took about 4 years too long.
I understand he is only one vote, but he is the leader. When there are issues within a board/council/business, whatever, its always a good idea to start at the top and work your way down to the problems. He has and continues to be a problem in this issue. He is a classic tax and tax more, spend and spend more politician, and this city simply cant support that now nor in the immediate future.
He started out well but became just a terrible leader of this city.
