I'd way prefer that to innuendo about hypotheticals that might happen in the future.

I'm all for calling someone out on their bad decisions. If he wants to do that then do that, to her face, in the proper forum and give her a chance to defend the decision. Have a real debate about it for us all to see.
This isn't that. This is self serving nonsense that accomplishes nothing but stirring up peoples emotions.

If Nenshi brings up Smith's 280K carpet replacement are you going to call him out for bringing up past decisions a politician made? Or is this because you guys support the arena? Which ironically you just need to check that first box to let the candidate know.

I do not support the arena. I do not think tax dollar's should be used to subsidize a billionaire, let alone one who doesn't want to pay his taxes here. I disagree with everything about it but it is what it is at this point. Going backwards isn't going to make it better. Like I said above, there are ways to go about calling it out, I feel this is unproductive.
Also Nenshi better do a lot more than bring up the 280K carpet replacement. I can think of 100 Million things he can bring up.
