Please keep in mind that I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't have any particular sentimental attachment to any individual city or town.
That being said it may have a saver for Hamilton, but it might have been one for the smaller towns as well. If the smaller towns are paying for services that can be provided for significantly less by the city then they save as well.
As far as bloat, keep in mind that Ford promised to eliminate the gravy train that ran through city hall, that he'd be able to provide huge cuts with no loss of services. Yet now that he's there.... Nowhere near the "gravy" that he claimed there was and service cuts are the only way to achieve the savings he's demanding.
I don't have any answers, I'm just trying to refocus the issue away from what everyone has lost to what possible gains there were.
I am disappointment in you're grammar.
