Dear Thomas:

In his infinite wisdom, Edmonton's Mayor Stephen Mandel & City Council are proud to co headline Edmonton Int'l Airport Authority's announcement of the expansion of the Edmonton Int'l Airport with its new wing & shopping centre at the terminal. Along with the associated CDXII (412) new jobs. Well those jobs go II Leduc & Leduc County. IV the most part, they add zilch II the Edmonton city property tax or business tax base. Would it not have made more sense II have the Mayor & City Council add these shops II the Edmonton Municipal/City Centre Airport where the buildings, infrastructure, & power hookups are already in place? Thus giving the downtown core a real economic boost. Plus, there would be an influx of new customers II Daryl Katz's new arena downtown IV the Oilers, once its built. 

EIA Can Kiss My Ass For Siphoning Away Muni Jobs & Destroying North Side Family's,

Rory
