Even if road tolls were approved there would continue to be a deficit to fund transit upgrades. In the words of Rob Ford TO doesn't have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. The tax base can't support the tens of thousands of public sector workers with their generous salaries and perks. The fat needs to be trimmed big time because there are FAR too many of them to begin with. Instead of always taking the easy way out by sticking it to the taxpayers time and again the city needs to change its culture of reckless and profligate spending. They need to learn to spend within their means like responsible people do instead of treating the tax coffers like a bottomless ATM. Problem is, no one is minding the store. There's no accountability so the piggies are getting a free pass to gorge at the tax trough at will.
