Marlene - if the feds really wanted to help transit, they would have given the money right to the transit authorities to lower fares. Giving you a tax credit is nice, but it's vote buying, not good policy. If you're too poor, you don't even qualify for the tax credit!

Highwater - just because Merulla's an asshat at council doesn't mean it's wrong to agree with him on the fares. He's right - the increase is going to hurt his constituents, and I sure hope Bratina changes his mind since his constituents are in the same boat.

There's a whole bunch of territory between Merulla going grand mal seizure and Fred going catatonic that I wish these damn councillors would visit some time. Hamilton politics sucks.
