City of Regina's Chief Financial Officer, Daren Anderson, found his way into the subbasement so we quizzed him about the 2026 budget and money stuff like that. If you're freaking out about the possibility of a 13.56% mill rate increase, this is not the show for you. Or maybe it is. Maybe you like to freak out over mill rates. We also talk about reserve funds. And wood! You should buy some now before they're all gone. Theme by Ryan Hill (aka Guidewire). Incidental music by Kimberley Fuery. Originally broadcast on 91.3FM CJTR AccessNow community radio.

Oct 16 2025 - With Apologies For Paul's Fragged Voice
On this week's meeting agenda:
• Aidan escaped the sub-basement and caught a showing of The Master Plan at the newly renovated Globe Theatre.
• Admin has been talking for months about how they changed the city's Design Standards so that new residential roads will be wider. How did that happen? When did that happen? Why did that happen? We have the backstory on that.
• Really good news from the Housing Accelerator front! Yay!
• Economic Development Regina presented their 2026 budget to city council. It did not go well.
• The Regina Public Library also presented their 2026 budget to city council. It didn't go great either but at least it went better than EDR's.
• The Queen City Improvement Bureau's Halloween-adjacent 10th Anniversary LIVE Show is coming up October 29, 7pm at the Artesian on 13th!
• The mayor made a big funding announcement for downtown.
Note: Apologies for how Paul's voice sounds like a gravel quarry that's smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 35 years. The doctors say there's nothing modern medicine can do to speed up his vocal recovery and the satanic rituals have not helped.
