Do you really think he will listen to discenting voices?
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says he wants to hear from everyone about how to deal with the city's projected $774 million budget deficit.
On Friday, the mayor said he wants Torontonians to come to City Hall next week and voice their concerns when the city's executive council meets.
"Next Thursday at the executive meeting I encourage people — even if I have to sit there for three or four days — I want to hear what people have to say."
Speaking to reporters on Friday afternoon Ford said people have made it clear to him what their priorities are: clean roads, safe streets and having their garbage picked up.
But if Torontonians aren't willing to make cuts, Ford said, then the only other option will be raising property taxes.
Oh clever boots, see what he did there?
Make the cuts, or I raise taxes. As nothing makes the Ford Nation see red more than taxes (ok, maybe gays, the poor and anyone who isn't like them, but they really really hate taxes), so of course its de-florinated water, closed libraries and cars on the sidewalk.
He must have consulted Nick, he'd never come up with a plan as devious as this by himself.
