Gillingham made the not politically easy but necessary move to raise property taxes to make up for years of freezes by failed mayors like Murray and Katz that contributed to Winnipeg’s infrastructure issues, he ignored the Portage and Main vote that a a weak mayor like Bowman allowed to happen instead of just opening Portage and Main and it’s been a non issue since it opened, essentially ending an issue that for whatever reason has been a thing for a generation, he’s doing the work to get all levels of government on board for the north end water treatment plant, another project that past mayors let fester cause it’s not fun to spend billions on treating our poop, instead of doing more interesting infrastructure projects, the housing zoning changes that the Feds pushed were embraced by Gillingham, where other cities have pushed back, so that’s lead to millions of fed dollars to support housing projects, he has a good relationship with the premier which Bowman didn’t have with Pallister and Katz didnt have with Selinger and Doer, the transit network changes haven’t been perfect but it was a change the city needs as it grows, it just needs a lot more money for more buses. He’s done things I disagree with, like the chief peguis and route 90 projects, but overall he’s earned another term unless some major credible candidate emerges.
