Nenshi under the gun for a common sense move

In the Calgary Sun today, the pundits are criticizing Mayor Nenshi's plan to use a surprise tax break from the Province to pay down debt and fix things like leaking swimming pool roofs.

I don't understand the logic of those critiquing his plan. I use any extra windfalls I get to pay off debt and get things done that we couldn't afford to do right away. So I see nothing wrong with this approach. You could get the money back, or we can fix things that need fixing. I choose the latter.
