I would take "cutting the consultant budget" as synonymous with "building capacity to do the jobs internally".

Check out this link...

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/councillor-livid-firm-gets-10m-despite-errors-58437982.html

And specifically in the article link above the following ...

Laubenstein said the city is seeking to reduce the number of consultants it employs. But in 2008, consulting payments rose to $34.8 million from $29.9 million in 2007.

And or in that same article link above...

Total spending on consultants by the city of Winnipeg in 2008: $34.8 million, up from $29.9 million in 2007

And in this article link below…

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/breakingnews/City-to-take-extra-month-to-amend-consulting-rules-90097392.html

And specifically check out the following in that article link…

The city spent $36.5 million on consultants in 2009, according to the latest summary before council.

The consultant budget...
In 2007 it was $29.9 million...
In 2008 it was $34.8 million...
In 2009 it was $36.5 million...

Hum!...So now exactly how does that relate to the Sam Katz election campaign promise in 2004 to "Cut the consulting budget?"

Whatever...And that is also just one more reason why I say it is synonymous with saying it is time to say...Bye, Bye Sammy already...

Probably be easier and less frustrating for you if you perhaps moved to a nice quarter section of land just outside the city where you could do whatever you wanted at whatever hours of the night, then for you to get rid of sammy.

Hum!...Just another back flip from a mayor that is perhaps now having to concern himself about being defeated in the next civic election...

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/katz-taps-ex-adviser-to-former-premier-90816529.html

And specifically the following in the article...

After Armbruster's departure from the mayor's office last summer, Katz said he did not need any additional advisers. On Tuesday, Katz spokesman Brad Salyn said the mayor changed his mind once he was certain he was running for re-election.

I got it...I guess our mayor realizes he will need "all the bed buddies" he muster up or something for the next civic election...

errr.. what?

does this mean i am gay? or just an official c**ksucker for the city of Winnipeg?

Because if I am gay I gotta start downloading different porn. And if I am an official c**ksucker, I sure would like to know why I aint being paid.

You have something to say? Then fricking ask directly or get off it.

The onliest peep in the sandbox with an obvious agenda is you ggf. And frankly I am growing increasingly weary of you turning threads into your personal soapbox.

Oh wait a minute what the last few peeps posted has something to do with the thread subject right...

Boy some peeps just have to start figuring it out already...

The only reason why threads go off course is because the same peeps continuously seem to be allowed to post things like above and I am suppose to do what?

Take it from those peeps all the time...

No, the reason threads go off topic is because GGF posts sh1t, as typified in posts 104 and 108, which bring in his personal agenda, sort of, if we could understand what it is, and then make an even more insane comment when challenged on it.

...and, it is the rest of us, not GGF who take topics off top

What crap.

Go easy on the ggf for he can't help himself. He is looking to peeps like us to help him become normal. You'd be a little crazy too if you had to dig a ditch in your backyard to fend off sammy and the evil coppers. And... hum... greeblok...
