PIE IN THE SKY 1.1 BILLION 50 MILLION TO PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG... 8-9% TAX HIKE... B.A. Psychology Editor/Publisher Central Newspapers ACCOMPLISHED WRITER/AUTHOR OF OVER 800,000 Published Columns in Canada and The United States Come on people. Who is doing the thinking here? Do they think we are that stupid... Wait, maybe we are as we keep electing in the same old incompetents. These so called elected incompetents are so far out of touch with reality that they waste tax dollars without much care. Early this year. Some genius proposed a 1.1billion dollar gondola project that would some how transport people from the south end all the way over to Durham College. 1.1 Billion...We are not in the Swiss Alps. We are not in a mountainous region. This just plain does not make economic sense. It is as if we have people go over the problems on the street level. There is not homeless, drugs, prostitution in our city. Insane. I personally call for the resignation of all that voted for such a wasteful expenditure. PEOPLE ARE STARVING IN OUR CITY. PEOPLE ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS. PEOPLE ARE OVER DOSING IN OUR RAVINES. Question, who of those supporting this insanity are getting a kickback.... How else can you explain it. Just recently, it was posted that there is a proposed in secret(camera) plan to further flush 50 million dollars in the GM arena. An arena that cost the City 50 million to erect. 1 million to operate. This means suckers like you have been paying for the maintenance of this facility since it was erected. Without one year of profit. Now, they want to sink in another 30 million. WHO IS DOING THE THINKING HERE. BUT WAIT, WE ARE ON THE EVE OF A MUNICIPAL ELECTION. I guess sinking your hard earned tax dollars will be deemed progress for some elected officials.... Disgusting. 50 million to put lipstick on a pig. Who is getting the kickback... you think not! Look at the line up of contractors they already have lined up. The new building additions never made it to a tender of bid process. 50 million of your hard dollars. The politicians will go harping at look at progress we are making in Oshawa. Meanwhile not telling you that the facility has been nothing but a money pit. Not, one year has generated a profit. The City is so scared of loosing the Generals... that they are pulling another GM. In fear of loosing GM. They did nothing. Subsequently we are left with an environmental mess. In the Generals case. Should we worry about them leaving? Should we care? As they have failed to support local businesses. Games are poorly advertised and it appears as a one way benefit... and not that of Oshawa taxpayers. Go Gens Go. No literally... Go Gens. We can’t afford you...
