One of Clr Bezo's more toxic talking points during the budget was that city admin just "wanted money." Of course, Bezo knows fuck all about city hall. For instance, in 2021, the city operations increase was 0%. In 2018, city operations took a cut — mill rate increase was -0.46. #yqrcc - ThreadSky

As if they wanted it for themselves, the city administrators that I am familiar with are reputable people trying to do a good job.

If city administration just "wanted money" why would city operations so often be cut to the bone?
What does it even mean to claim a city administration just "wants money"? They're using it for city operations. Why does that offend him so much? #yqrcc

A shame that individuals like that run for public office. Even more of a shame that people elect them.

He’s my councillor, some of us saw through his performance and trued our best to not have him represent us.

It was an odd situation, one of the candidates was ill for part of the campaign period, then a former long-term councillor popped in at the end. Guess Bezo got his opportunity then.

Yes, there very much was a vote split. Flegel had no business running, what a joke! Now we’re stuck with a clown for 4 years!

Extremely frustrating for people living here to have to suffer with councillors who don’t seem to understand the city budget’s purpose is to…keep the city running. Maybe improve it for people living here.

Like, a city doesn’t exist solely to provide money to their police forces & parking lots.

Municipalities had Provincial funding cut & have been barely getting by since then. Just like Hospitals & schools.

I'm guessing that he lives quite comfortably, right? Because I swear that 90% of the people I've ever heard complaining about government money mismanagement are privileged men who think they're where they are because they "did things the right way".
