you know what? the average Hamiltonian doesn't care about the city hall reno. what's more - they don't care that it's concrete instead of marble. you know why? because it doesn't really matter at the end of the day. the concrete looks fine.

Grab a picture of city hall before the reno and go down there and compare it with what's there now. I'm no engineer or contractor, but it is EMBARRASSING. Not even close to looking fine.

do we have money to spend on marble or limestone? no.

Yes, we do have the money. The project is $4 million under budget. Limestone AND a stainless steel exterior trim would have cost $3.5 million. We'd still be $500,000 under budget and with a building we can be proud of had the right decision been made.

I wish the councillor in charge would have put the same effort into this building project as he has blocking pink flamingo websites online.
