Rob Ford announces support for proposed TTC improvements, including some that would reverse his own cuts
At a campaign press conference this morning, Rob Ford announced his support for most of the items on a list of proposed improvements to public-transit service being considered by the TTC board at its meeting today. Almost all of the mayor’s competitors in this year’s election have come out in support of similar bunches of service improvements, but in Ford’s case there’s a catch. Among the specific tweaks he endorsed were proposals to reverse 2011’s cuts to bus service, which were implemented largely because of his own budget policy. Ford plans to pay for the service improvements using efficiencies, which is something he likely won’t be able to do. (The expert consensus is that the city’s budget is pretty much as lean as it’s going to get.)
What? Reversing cuts? Ford is a commie!
Mayor Rob Ford…….when I’m re-elected I will rid the city of all the buses and street cars…
(that was Monday)
Mayor Rob Ford……When I’m re-elected I will find the money (maybe) for new buses, street cars and subways ( that was Thursday)
Does Mayor Rob Ford have a plat form or man date or policies for the up coming election…….or is he just winging it ???
Toronto is a world class city…..with second class transits…..and a third class mayor……
Time for change…..I vote first class across the board………….
That’s leadership! Cut the TTC twice under your tenure and once its election time again support a plan that reverses those cuts.
