A third member of city council's unofficial opposition has endorsed Jenny Motkaluk's campaign for mayor.

Incumbent Mynarskicouncil candidate Ross Eadiehas joined North Kildonan'sJeff Browaty and Jason Schreyerof Elmwood-EastKildonanin endorsing the business consultant's campaign.

Eadie said Sunday he was on the fence until he heard about Motkaluk's desire to prevent property-tax bills from changing following reassessments.

"She sounds like she's going tobe more practical," said Eadie, who was among six members of the last council who regularly voted against Brian Bowman.

Eadiesaid his dislike of Bowman was part of his decision to support Motkaluk.

The Mynarski incumbent accused Bowman of failing to inform Winnipeggersthey will face service cuts during the next council term.

He also said Motkaluk will be forced to amend her promises once she gets a closer look at city finances.

Eadie plans to join Motkaluk at a press conference on Monday. Eadie facesre-election challenges from three candidates in Mynarski: Dave Capar, Greg Littlejohnand Micheal Wiens.

Schreyer endorsed Motkaluk earlier this month when she pledged to replace the Louise Bridge.

Browaty endorsed Motkalukwhen she announced her intention to prioritize the western extension of Chief PeguisTrail on an infrastructure-funding wish list.
