Basically what they've said in the article is they would actually prefer McKenney's vision for Ottawa, but think they can't be trusted to only increase property taxes by 3 percent.
The whole section of the article about roads and cycling infrastructure is a bit baffling. Why would accelerating cycling infrastructure as part of McKenney's platform mean potholes won't be fixed. The cost of cycling infrastructure is miniscule compared to what is spent on roads and most cycling infrastructure improvements come at the same time as road repair. I don't get it. Why does "I'm going to fix potholes" even need to be part of anyone's platform? That's just the minimum expectation for a functioning city. Is that really all Ottawans can hope for in our city? That's rather sad.
