I think the issue with city council is that they always find ways to take more money and then theres public outrage over what they spend that money on. Many people dislike the pedestrian bridges, and almost all are united against the raises the aldermen gave themselves during these times.
I'm sure there are spending items on the provincial budget I don't like, but I assume people are appeased by spending on major projects like the ring roads. Plus Stelmach won with 71% I believe, this is conservative country, perhaps he can get away with stuff like that..
