Raise the Hammer
The Hamilton Spectator has published an essay written by your humble RTH editor as part of its Hamilton Next series of essays on the city's future.
Titled, "Hamilton needs an urban focus to build for the future", the essay seeks to argue that Hamilton is a city, not a bedroom community, and that this understanding should focus our priorities.

Nice piece putting the LRT debate in larger context - happy to see The Spec publishing it. Looks good for both of you!

with CHML rapidly becoming less relevant than a dinosaur, it's nice to see the Spec jump on the opportunity to become a progressive voice in Hamilton.

Ryan McGreal wrote--'Council just voted to increase development charges by 2013, but the city will still charge only 60 per cent of what it is allowed to collect — even 100 per cent would not actually cover the full cost of development.' I think I saw CATCH discuss this a couple times, in June as I looked in their list. Does RTH sometimes credit CATCH as a discussion or even info source--but someone could of got this himself from the city's info.
