The whole thing is ridiculous......Pan Am. Let's not forget that there is only one taxpayer that funds the Federal, Provincial and Municipal Government and that is you and I. Ask yourself, what did the Canadian and World Cycling Championships really bring to Hamilton? At the outset there were all these promises of legacy, promotion and economic spin-offs for the City yet, years latter we are still complaining about the City. There is a dinky little cycling shop set up in the Arena in Ancaster serving a few people.

I'd rather live in a City that is financially sound with a sustainable plan for the future than a City with these "jewels" that turn out to be white elephants that cost us dearly. Anyone doubting this simply needs to take a walk around Copps Coliseum and take a close look at the burnt out light bulbs and peeling siding. Then add all the negative news around HECFI.

Time to get back to the basics. Whitehead along with others simply don't understand because they have no long term committment to the City, it is simply a paycheque for them and a way to get their names in the paper. Anybody who really cared about the citizens wouldn't propose such ridiculous initiatives.
