It's become crystal clear, Stephen Quinn is an expert on spending other people's money. Don't you think in a $1.3 Billion dollar budget the City of Vancouver could not find an additional $3.5 million dollars to fund social projects they want to support, without hitting up taxpayers for a 3.9% tax increase when inflation is less than 2%.  Sounds to me like Stephen Quinn could benefit from a little instruction on using a calculator.
