Mayor and premier agree to disagree on road tolls

Posted By: Justine Lewkowicz · 2/16/2013 5:40:00 AM

The mayor says he and premier Kathleen Wynne have agreed to disagree on transit funding.

Rob Ford told reporters yesterday that he made it clear to the premier over the phone last week that he is opposed to new taxes or road tolls.

Easing gridlock is one of Wynne's priorities as premier, and she hasn't ruled out those kinds of revenue tools for transit.

Ford and Wynne haven't yet met in person since she became premier.

      @russ tucker Well, to be honest, transit, healthcare, roads, police, doctors etc cost money

      How else is the govt going to pay for things for you to use without getting money (I.e. taxes)?

    Let's have the "revenue tool" of cutting some of the world's most flagrant unproductive government waste. With Ontario and Toronto spending an astounding $19K per person per year right now, I am certain they can easily squeeze out $500 per person per year for proper transit. True, some superfluous items such as hay and horse brigades may have to self fund, but they do not belong in the government tab anyway. Wanton waste, endless taxpayer ripoffs, massive over-staffing and poor planning frustrate taxpayers, put lives at risk due to inefficient unproductive services, and prevent proper transit expansion. Ending waste will fund transit, improve services while cutting unjustified absurd costs that harm our economy.
