I think I resent Heritage Winnipeg more in this situation. You could make the case that the GCC just has to represent the interests of its members, and whether or not it's good for the city or disproportionately costly socially, the interests of its members are to have ample free parking.
It's Heritage Winnipeg, whose funding comes almost entirely from the city and province, and who have obviously decided that "support the current GCC board getting their way on everything they want" is the best way to advocate for the preservation of the Granite building.
Heritage Winnipeg has only one full-time employee (at $90k), and it's her. They spend a third of their budget on her salary. "Heritage Winnipeg" is practically an organization that exists to employ Cindy Tugwell.
