Campaign FInance Reform, again

While this blog has been very quiet, BCC has not been. Please visit civiccamp.org/blog for one of the projects on which we've been working, and follow Naheed on Twitter (@nenshi). Here's Naheed's column on campaign finance reform from today:

Naheed insults no one!

Here's today's column in the Calgary Herald on the importance of funding the arts.

Naheed gets grumpy and channels J.K. Rowling

Here's Naheed's column from today's Calgary Herald, in which he criticizes a grab bag of issues, including secondary suites, Ald. Joe Connelly in general, and gerrymandering. He also sneaks in a Harry Potter reference.

Citizens are doin' it for themselves.

Here's Naheed's column in today's Herald, and here's how to reach the group he discusses, CivicCamp.

Naheed's column today is not about civic politics, but the Herald did put this link there. If you are interested in reading more of Naheed's work on China and Tiananmen, go here.

Camapaign FInance reform, re- re- redux

Naheed's column in the Herald today is about campaign finance reform. Will Jeff Johnson's Bill 203 finally break the logjam?

Today's column on Plan-It.

Here's Naheed's column from today, about planning but with a special campaign finance reform sweetener at the end!

Memorial Drive madness

Here's Naheed's column from today, in which he calls for a more human city, and calls out some aldermen on their bad behaviour.

Some updates

We have been very very bad about keeping the blog up to date (any volunteers want to be the new BCC official blogger?). However, we have been busy commenting on issues from campaign finance reform to the good neighbour bylaw to, of course, the debacle around the city budget. And Naheed's favourite issue, public transit.

We'll post some of the more interesting links over the next day or two, but thought folks might find this very kind profile in today's Herald interesting.
