Mayor Dave Bronconnier is not seeking re-election.

That means we’ll have a wide open race for the Mayor’s office this fall.

I can’t wait.

As a journalist… it has been a while since we’ve had a significant shift within the walls of City Hall.

I’m willing to bet there are atleast half-a-dozen disgruntled provincial politicians who are considering a run for Dave Bronconnier’s gig.

Premier Ed Stelmach has upset a few members of the Tory party through cabinet shuffles and policy changes.

And the provincial Liberal party simply isn’t a power to contend with.

So… why wouldn’t some MLAs think about gunning for the top politicial job in Calgary?

They’ll be in for a tough race from some current Alderman.

Like I said… I can’t wait for the civic election.

I’ve already circled October 18th on my calendar.
