A bit off course here, Jyoti was also very vocal in her opposition to the newly agreed arena proposal, the first chance she had she starts forcing a bunch of nonsenical crap like adding solar panels (never agreed to in the initial framework), or the widened boulevards/sidewalks and insisting that CSEC pay for them. This increased scope allowed CSEC to walk from the deal, which was a fatal mistake as CSEC was contractually obligated to cover cost over runs, which were building up due to Covid issues....
One thing I will give Jyoti credit for is raising the budgetary share for the police force, rather than defunding it like our prior adminstration tried to...

There is so much wrong with pretty much everything you've said, but the bolded is particularly laughable. If you watched the meeting for the initial arena vote Gondek was a LOUD supporter. But I'm sure it's easier to just digest and regurgitate misinformation from the likes of Corbella.
