The "slush fund" is made up of an amount of tax that it has been agreed the "old wards" are overpaying. Since there was no political appetite to lower taxes in these wards the extra revenue is place in a fund for discretionary spending within the ward.

What this money is often spent on are things that the suburban wards receive out of general reserves e.g. pedestrian crossing signals and flashing lights in school zones - as two examples.
