I write thing!! Last week, Olivia Chow's handpicked Executive Committee recommended a raft of new taxes and levies to stave off budget catastrophe. The real test of her leadership will be if City Council approves them. My latest for The Local: thelocal.to/olivia-chows-finan

My two favourite charts from the latest City Hall Watcher.

The usual bar chart on where the average property tax bill goes lumps together paramedics, fire services, and police in one category. Separating them shows the disparity: datawrapper.de/_/XmB0h/

And what the City is spending on repairs to the Gardiner Expressway, vs. road safety, sidewalks, and cycling: datawrapper.de/_/eTtJ1/

Free to read, for everyone! toronto.cityhallwatcher.com/p/

From @gordperks@twitter.com questions of staff on budgeting for staff roles, we learn that there are 4,000 vacancies (10%) and that "not all vacancies are budgeted to be filled." This is highly problematic. Planned understaffing = service cuts!

A friendly reminder to Toronto's Mayor and Council - the expanded climate change plan you approved in 2021 includes free transit before 2040. It's in here, page 22. toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/
