Quoting A. Smith:"If Hamilton can return to it's roots of low taxes and private investment (HSR was started as a private company), this city will create thousands of new jobs. However, if people want more free candy from the government (LRT, stadium), they can kiss those job opportunities goodbye. It's a choice the people of Hamilton need to make. Hopefully they choose opportunity over empty promises from City Hall."

Right now the people have Hamilton have 2 choices.

They can either update this city, or loose any opportunities that might have come our way in future. People will only invest in a place that looks Forward, not backward.

Or we can pour all our taxes, resources, & energy into the suburbs & forget about downtown Hamilton. (which is what we often seem to be doing now.)

We absolutely have to watch all government spending, & how our taxes & utility payments are put back into Hamilton. If for example, Hydro One says that rate increases will go to modernizing & updating delivery systems, then we must be sure that happens, & we get good results from the money we spend.
