	Encyclopedia: Bill Smith (Edmonton mayor)
		Edmonton mayors Janice Rhea Reimer (born May 23, 1952) is a Canadian politician and former mayor of Edmonton, Alberta.
		Smith believes the best way to keep property taxes low (raised every year but the first of his years in office) is to win new financial funding from the province and a portion of the national gasoline tax from the federal government.
		Smith also makes the point that the Mayor of Edmonton represents not just the city but the region, and he sees a tax and service sharing agreement with neighbouring municipalities—on fire protection, snow removal and bus routes, for example—as a priority.

		Edmonton Mayor Bill Smith is up in arms over media reports that a "new deal" for major Canadian cities is dead because former Winnipeg mayor Glen Murray was given the boot by voters in last month's federal election.
		Smith is part of the Big-City Mayors group that's been working on a "new deal" for cities for the past couple of years.
		Smith was so angry about this nonsense that he wrote a letter to the editor of the National Post and copied it to all the big-city mayors, including Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz.

	Journal of Canadian Studies: City campaigns on the cusp and the Edmonton mayoralty election of 1992
		Although Smith lost, his general position remained powerful, and conflict was now locked into every city council debate.(f.63) Most of the projections made by Smith's advisers, based on their expertise and announced by the candidate to frequent ridicule, became city policy before the next fiscal year end.
		Mayor Reimer's poor showing against an ill-organized, often-bumbling novice, but one with a clearly defined civic policy position, presaged the elimination of NDP seats in 1993, while her own attitude in victory foreshadowed this event.
		Mayor Reimer's New Democrat credentials were well known and a second challenger, Lance White, was a sitting Liberal member of the legislative assembly, a past city councillor and continuing crony of former Mayor Decore.
