For every motion to change the budget, #JohnTory has 15 days to veto it. Will he use the power right away? Or wait until later?

For every veto John Tory makes, council has 10 days to override the veto with a 2/3rds vote. Will they exercise their right to override and hold a vote right away? Or wait until later?

Let’s see what happens! #Toronto #TorontoCityCouncil

Now that the #TorontoCityCouncil budget process is moving along, I wonder if part of #JohnTory staying on until the budget passes has to do with setting precedent with the strong mayor VETO powers. Precedent is important. #Toronto #ONPoli

#TorontoCityCouncil Gord Perks being a motherfucking hero with his speech about can’t vs. won’t. #Toronto #JohnTory

Dr. Eileen de Villa tells #TorontoCityCouncil that #Toronto has been collecting data on homelessness since 2017. Being homeless in Toronto reduces your life expectancy by a whopping 30 YEARS! #ONPoli

#Toronto city councillor Alejandra Bravo says it’s crazy that #TorontoCityCouncil is about to pass a budget that calls for #TTC service cuts, without actually knowing what routes will be affected or how. I agree. #ONPoli

Not his main point, but #Toronto city councillor Anthony Peruzza just said that a family’s $500 property tax bill is more than they spend on food in a whole month. Hm… Really?! #ONpoli #TorontoCityCouncil We’re just two people and couldn’t get by with only $500 in groceries a month. Impossible.

Seems like business as usual at #TorontoCityCouncil right now… #Toronto #ONPoli #TOPoli Except only staff are being allowed to sit in the gallery, no members of the public. The public are being allowed to watch in a separate committee room on the second floor. After the lunch break there are only eleven people here, plus me. (They should just let us go upstairs.)

I loves me a good angry diatribe! And one that makes good points!
I may have to start watching BT again!

Hope #SidSeixeiro don't get fired.

Ok, they’re starting to let people back in. It’s not just me anymore. #ONPoli #Toronto #JohnTory #TorontoCityCouncil

Wait, am I even supposed to be here? Everyone has #Toronto lanyards and they’re not letting anyone else in. I held the elevator for a camera guy and came in with the media. No wonder everyone here is dressed in business attire. Hope they let me stay! #ONPoli #JohnTory #TorontoCityCouncil

#TorontoCityCouncil back in session. #Toronto #ONPoli #TOPoli #JohnTory

Well, if #JohnTory said he’d resign because he didn’t want to be a distraction (and give him time to focus on healing with his family and regaining their trust, etc.) then he should consider that today’s budget meeting has already been delayed by TWO HOURS so far. The city’s work is not getting done. So for those asking him to stay, he’s proved his point. This will not go away, he *is* an obstacle to the city’s progress at this point. #ONPoli #Toronto #TorontoCityCouncil
