Toronto Council,The TTC, Management, Unions Out of Touch With Reality With little Regard for Public

April 3, 2010 - PRLog -- For the past 7 years and longer Toronto's incumbent career councilors have had no regard for prudence when it came to spending our tax dollars.

Their outrageous practice of increasing spending at an average rate of 5.21% annually since 2003 over revenues which has continually been 1.9% ABOVE INFLATION RATES MUST COME TO AN END IN 2010.

This has siphoned over $22 MILLION Dollars from Renters, Condo and Homeowners and Businesses alike for each 2% increase in tax rates since 2003.

If councillors had lived within the rate of inflation, as the outgoing Mayor and his merry gang of councilors promised, Renters, Condo and Homeowners and Businesses all would have had this money in their pockets to create more jobs for Torontonians.

I, Peter CLARKE agree with the common sense position of the people that “this same old process of borrowing, spending and taxing year after year must end in 2010.”

With the TTC chair continually being a person with NO business experience or expertise in corporate transportation management or qualifications for same it is past the time that the Chair and operations for the TTC be taken out of council’s control.

Now we hear from Mr. Kinnear a union member of the TTC that because he or some other representative of the TTC union was not invited to participate on the transit commission’s service advisory panel “his organization has some concern that this panel may be somewhat politically motivated and we want to stay away from that.”

As of yet Kinnear who alludes to be speaking for the majority of his organizations membership, has failed to elaborate on just what these concerns are? Lets see if the media follows up and gets to the bottom of just what these concerns are, so we all an be enlightened about such concerns.

He then goes on to emphatically state to his merry band of left leaning socialist ideology media reports for all to hear and absorb that his proposed union backed and sponsored town hall meetings will “NOT be politically motivated as they want to stay away from that.”

It seems Mr. Kinnear and this band of media reports would like all citizens to believe that his motives are not based on any political content whatsoever? When will they stop thinking that Torontonians are completely stupid?

Let’s have a report on just what his organizations concerns are as we all understand and know what the public concerns are with his TTC union members along with the day to day operations of the TTC itself.

I, Peter CLARKE strongly believe that TORONTO is OUR CITY, YOUR VOTE, OUR FUTURE and TOGETHER leads to your victory on October 25, 2010 by restoring the people’s common sense back on Toronto council.
