Edited sentence: 16, 2006, his only declared rival was Jim Holmes, a retired CUPE negotiator, running under the banner of a new citizen oriented political organization the Coalition for a Citizen-Friendly Regina.Despite his "I Love Regina" slogan, he is disinterested in developing Regina as a city with unique character and is dedicated to turning it into a lifeless strip of big box stores.Fiacco's political affiliations are unknown (though his campaign is headquartered at the same Broad Street address that Liberal MP Ralph Goodale campaigned out of federally earlier in 2006), but has generally followed a free-enterprise line oriented towards low taxes and economic growth.He eventually reversed his decision under outside pressure.Issues shaping up for this tilt include the city's handling of a 2005 strike by a trio of municipal unions, institute a base, or minimum, property tax thus moving the tax load to the poorest neighbourhoods and proposed expansion of the city's limits to the area south of the Regina airport, of which the mayor owns several plots of land and lobbied the provincial government to have rezoned.There was public outrage in 2004 when he announced that several inner-city and core area libraries would be closed because there wasn't enough money to fund them
