What has he done in 3 years other than cancel the airport bridge at a cost of 36 million dollars and give into an illegal ttc strike?
I would really like to know from the miller supporters |

He raised taxes and reduced services.
edit:
Here's more from Jane Pitfield's site:
| quote: | During his term, Miller has:
* Pushed through a sole-source deal to buy subway cars for the TTC. Taxpayers will never know whether they’re getting the best value for their money.
* Secretly negotiated the purchase of a landfill site near London. He then denied, and later had to admit, the existence of a report that offered Toronto the use of the site without having to buy it. Residents still don’t know the details of Miller’s deal.
* Tried to keep a report on the Gardiner hidden, since his real agenda is to tear down the expressway, and voted against allowing a public referendum on the Gardiner.
* Given himself and Council a nine per cent pay hike by casting the deciding vote.
* Seen the departure of several senior managers and directors whose recommendations he didn’t like.
* Reorganized staff which resulted in severance payments of $15 million over two years.
* Surrounded himself with his cronies, rewarded his NDP friends, endorsed candidates in the last federal election and provincial by-election, and politicized City Hall.
* Received money from the province for public transit, and then raised TTC fares anyway.
* Arranged new taxing authority, which he plans to impose on residents if re-elected.

There are some really good candidates, but the media doesn't report on them. Clearly, the media is biased and Miller is their man.
edit: Yes I realize that there are a lot of wackos running too. |

The issue is not Miller, it's who you would give a chance to prove that's better than him? |
