Sorry Ryan I am not yelling simply typing with one finger . I never said anything about hating to pay taxes only about wasting tax dollars on a money loser for Hamilton. Metrolinx(Paul Johnson) has stated at the last Westdale meeting that money generated will go to Metrolinx or a third party not Hamilton. ( not as mdrejohn claims)) In 2012 the City Motor Hotel (2013) was purchased for $1.96m and it was stated (Hamilton Spectator Sept 13,2012 )that it would be the LRT hub. Yet Metrolinx as well as the city has been saying for several years and even with their rendered picture (2015) that Eastgate was to be the hub ( now who is misleading who?) I am sorry but too many questions unanswered with regards to the actual costs, time frame,revenue etc for us to jump on this bandwagon. Conveniently Mr. Dixon leaves and clearly in his report to council an LRT in Hamilton does not have the sustainable ridership to support this project. Metrolinx projections are highly inflated. The shovel is not in the ground so all is not wasted and done until the fat lady sings. Time for a Public Referendum not a gong show.
