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.

An old article, but I remember Nenshi being the only vote against the endless expansion of the police budget, that makes up 14% of property taxes. He was 50/50 on taxpayer friendliness then and I'm sure its the same now. You can disagree with him, or think he's smug, but he's not reaching into Calgarian's pockets just for the sake of it.

The city has a lot of external pressures on it right now and there will be more change.
