Don Atchison’s mayoral campaign billboards boast that “Experience Counts.” Apparently with Atch’s experience, one needs to learn how to count quite high: 156 million, to be exact.
Why 156 million?
That’s Saskatoon’s civic debt forecast for 2009: 156 million dollars.
Compare that to $27 million - Saskatoon’s debt before Atch took office. Basically, in six years Mayor Atchison has grown Saskatoon’s debt sixfold. And with extensive River Landing cost overruns this year, that 156 million dollar forecast is likely low.
Atch is right: Experience counts. Now where’s his plan to count backward and pay his mess off?
