and if you do source it. please include the expected windfall of money the new land transfer tax and vehicle (please ride a bike) registration tax. I'm sure if you include these two new bad boys you will see a massive spike in tax revenue. |
The land transfer tax has been a bomb...has not raised the money it was projected to bring in...I will get some sources and post soon... |

Have you been to New York City? There are fare collectors in every station.

Have fun fighting their union. I'm sure the same, massive concessions that made Miller so unpopular would be great for your approval rating. The same applies to the unionized fare collectors.

Id cut spending and grants on things like arts programs.

Great. Who needs culture anyway? I'm sure the less fortunate people in the city have no need for grants either.
I'm not saying Miller was perfect but you guys are just as guilty of pandering to one side of the spectrum as he is. |
