Current Event Example What - $5 Million for City Hall Renos Who - Employees of city hall and taxpayers When - Feb 7, 2012 Where - Regina, SK City Hall - [] Why - Doing this because the facility is outdated and missing important safety features. I think this makes sense because last time I was in there it looked 'old''. Also more attractive when business come town and see we are a modern city. The price seems a little high but that seems to be the norm these days. This would definately deal with economics because of the price tag, but also can fall into political science because public money is being spent and needs to be accountable. Source - [] Feb 7, 2012
