CouncilWatch - Environmental Services Under Threat, Again
October 11, 2012
Environmental Services Under Attack at City Hall, Again Last year, we worked hard to stop cuts to important environmental services proposed in the Core Service Review. Thankfully, with the help of TEA supporters, most of these cuts were stopped. This month, another round of cuts was proposed:
It appears the goal is to save money in the short term. Cuts to environmental programs now will cost more as environmental problems get worse and harm our health, economy and city infrastructure. TEA will be paying close attention to these proposals and the votes at City Hall in the next few months, including the 2013 Budget process. |
More recycling in TO! See the City media release here. Public Consultations on Transit Expansion Everyone agrees we need more public transit, but not everyone agrees how to fund it. On Tuesday, the city’s Executive Committee adopted a staff report that calls for public consultations on which revenue tools Torontonians support for public transit expansion. Details to be announced. Get Involved! Become a TEA member! Volunteer with TEA Follow us on Twitter Join us on Facebook |
