Calgary's mayor and much of city council are on the naughty list again this year.

For about the last half century, outgoing city bureaucrats have been the quiet recipients of one huge golden handshake, courtesy of beleaguered Calgary taxpayers.

Joining me tonight to talk about this and the out of control spending at City Hall in 2019 is William McBeath from Save Calgary.
