Episode 201: Strong Mayor's Budget

This week on Breezy Breakfast, Mayor Cam Guthrie and Deputy CAO Trevor Lee answer questions about this year's controversial City budget.  Tara Baker, Colleen Clack-Bush, and Jayne Holmes provide backup.

Why is this budget controversial?

This year, the budget is under the Mayor's direct purview.

Council may amend the budget; however, the Mayor has the power to veto amendments.

Council may overturn a veto if and only if a super-majority of two-thirds is attained.

People online and in the restaurant are in a particularly feisty mood.  They ask questions about public transit, bike trails, and the environment.  And what's going on with the 200th anniversary of the Royal City?

Join the Breezy Breakfast in person at the Shine Brunch and Dinner Restaurant on Macdonell Street on Thursdays at 8 AM, or join via Zoom.
