I am predicting there is going to be lots of buyers remorse after this election... Many of these candidates are running on a platform with zero ideas other than than the current council is bad....
Many citizens don't want to spend more money on taxes but at the exact same time want increased services...
The problem with many these new people running are in the pocket of the developers who will expect approval of many of these new suburban growth opportunities which costs the City lots of up front money. So these new councilors only choice will to be reduce the services that many Calgarians actually want to pay for that.. and actually increase taxes as well because when they realize while not perfect there actually isn't that much waste at City Hall.
Even Rick Bell today was trying to change the story.. That even after Nenshi leaves it is actually City Hall that is the problem..
