Calgary 2011 Budget


Recommended Posts

Hey

You may have heard that mayor Nenshi lately said that he wants to hear from Calgarians about how to trim the City budget. Well, maybe Nenshi wants to hear this, but it looks like a lot of the City employees don't.

 

I followed the link and read some of the suggestions - there's no shortage. You can tell some of the recommendations are coming from actual City employees and people in-the-know. I tried to add a comment myself. Seems to be full. It didn't go through and there's no more new suggestions being posted. Imagine that.

 

The video there shows Eric Sawyer saying that his department has already put together proposals for council. He then says that concerned citizens can be heard at a scheduled meeting next week.

 

Sounds like the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. Do you really think 'concerned citizens' will be heard at a meeting? (maybe a couple, if there is time - is that a good representation?) So, what's with this Calgarians' input thing on the webpage - a smokescreen? This is like a well-trained olympic cyclist trying entering a race on a tricycle.
