Here is the link to the CBC Radio interview with Mayor Sam Katz:
http://www.cbc.ca/inforadio/2012/01/27/winnipeg-mayor-sam-katz/
The golf course issue is discussed at about 8 min 50 sec into the interview.
Note that the Mayor talks about the golf course issue coming to City Council in around 60 days- right around the Operating Budget. We have to be vigilant about this.
