25Out of 450 municipalities in Ontario,,, 43 had opted to grab as much cash as possible from its residents,, Explain the stupidity??, ´, Well over 400 municipalities opted not to rip off their residents !!

10Stupidity reigns supreme. No one should be surprised, just disappointed.

Original $53M downtown revitalization plan pared down to $18M
22Punting on the infrastructure work to focus on aesthetics isn’t going to save money in the long run. It just means all the beautification work being discussed will have to be redone when the infrastructure becomes too much of a problem to ignore. It’s penny wise and pound foolish.

Council OKs three projects, sending proposed tax hike up to 2.85%
232.85% is already above the inflation rate, and we still have to add policing and Simcoe County costs. Shouldn’t we get those before okaying these expenditures? Why would they ok the budget before these numbers come in?

15Nice to see some common sense, 53 million was ridiculous.

COLUMN: Lessons from Finland, a nation that chose to end homelessness
16It does seem like the issue isn't can we but more like will we. We could easily redirect funds from legacy and vanity projects like tunnel studies and closing beer stores and out thst funding into government projects to build affordable housing. Can we? Yes why not do it. But will we? Well not in Ontario with this government that's for sure. Maybe Manitoba. It's a national disgrace that we have hungry children and unhoused people.

15Of course the mayor considered it a success. He has the same attitude as Trump. Everything he does is not for the people or Orillia, it is for his ego. That money he conned from local residents in the middle of summer was a disgrace. Using the excuse it is for the kids which is malarky. .

City faces tough decisions at Wednesday budget meeting
14The library was overbuilt for a city of our size. Rather than cut services could a portion of it be redesigned and rented out as office.

8I guess if you’re okay with the ambulance or fire truck taking a little longer…. then okay intall speed bumps. Personally, I , like the majority prefer cameras. However in Ford’s world…. it’s all about cars. It’s too bad we can’t rely on people to follow the law of the road. The volume of tickets for speeding proves the point.

7I'm curious if we can charge Ford with criminal negligence causing injury if ANYONE gets hit by a car in any of those spots in the next 6 months?

11More than 7 years into his reign and Doug Ford still can't get a proper recycling program in place. Abject failure!And who foots the bill? Municipal taxpayers of course. "Producer Paid" is just lipstick on the downloading pig. Talk about a cash grab.

16Carleton: I really think infrastructure that forces people to slow down is a better choice. Ignorant drivers will not be significantly deterred by tickets. Speed bumps can do significant damage to a car if not obeyed.
