Does Dave Bronconnier really think we are fooled by his crime-fighting sleight of hand? First, he takes a wad of our tax dollars and pretends it's some kind of "found money" that needs to be spent. Then, he announces a half-baked crime-fighting scheme. We aren't sure how it's going to work, but it sounds like we will deal with graffiti, begging and drug addictions by rounding these folks up and throwing them into jail. It seems once again that our mayor is trying to flesh out some sort of platform for his next election campaign rather than work for Calgarians and provide some real leadership.
