No Longer The Clean City We Once Knew
Friday, August 10th, 2007Thanks to a long list of cuts announced by city hall in Toronto at noon today, residents of Toronto can now look forward to “a lot more litter on the streets, a lot less garbage being picked up, dirtier streets, a lot more potholes, bigger snow pile-ups before your street is cleaned off and longer waits to pay for your parking tickets or your tax bill”. In an attempt to balance their books, $34 million was cut from city’s operating budget for the rest of 2007. Carried over to next year the cuts total just $83 million, which barely offsets the expected deficit in the operating budget of $575 million.
