Wednesday June 26 2013 – Listen to Mayor Katz scrum about PST speech to legislature, transit authority, Wyatt weekends; new City Circus airs tonight on Shaw




City Circus show

Summary: ONLY TGCTS brings taxpayers the entire media scrum Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz held today. The Mayor was in conversation with WFP City hall ace Bartley Kives, Bernice Pontanilla of the Metro, Joyanne Pursaga of Sun Media and Marty Gold of City Circus TV. He was in a jovial mood and covered a lot of topics including the ongoing battle with the NDP government of Manitoba over the PST hike - he intends to speak at the Legislature for the first time about it; differing infrastructure priorities ie. Rapid Transit; floated the concept of a Transit Authority and how it would have to deal with the public - take note Parking Authority; and the idea of councillors taking an unpaid summer leave as part of Wyatt weekends. It is worth listening to folks so spread this one around. ******* After correcting an unforseen technical error, Shaw TV has advised that City Circus will begin the new episode week TONIGHT at 8.30PM, and will be replayed at 3am the rest of the week as well as at 11 pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday among other times slots. This episode features lots of 'Math with Marty', exploring subjects like - the Canadian Museum for Human Rights skirting fire safety laws at taxpayers expense, - how many city buses for stadium events?, - the NDP backing down on how math is taught - or hasn't been taught - in Manitoba schools, - and backing down on Manitoba Public Insurance shoring up NDP road repair budgets, - Assiniboia Downs employment spin-offs and of course, what would City Circus be if there isn't an imitation of a politician. Tonight it's of Coun. Russ Wyatt - but with a twist. ************
