that's the way things work in Hamilton. If you want to railroad something through without giving the public a chance to weigh in on it, you unveil the plan 2 days before the meeting. Even with such a short turnaround the vote got closer as some councilors realized how stupid this move was. A mother with 2 kids will be forking out an extra $250.00 next year for bus passes. Yet the entire fare increase could have been covered for between $4.00-$14.00 per household (depending on which ward you live in. The wealthier wards pay less). There was much to be disturbed about if you saw the debate.
It finally hit me last night -this council isn't taking us anywhere quickly. Same old story as every other group.
