		<description>The people are united from the suburbs to the city core that SPENDING must be brought under control and that the outgoing mayor and incumbent councillors of the past 15 to 25 years MUST GO! 

Incumbent councillors have shown their complete lack of prudence for taxpayer money as witnessed by their increased spending by 60% in ten years while inflation rose only 23% for the same period. 

Incumbent Councillors spending for their self given Golden Severance Package at a cost of $4,999,236 MILLION dollars or $113,519 per councillor upon their defeat at the polls, which is twice that established for Ontario workers was yet another example of their arrogance and self serving greed which greatly attributed to the city’s fiscal crisis. 

Instead of stopping spending Toronto incumbent councillors wanted to control our lifestyles by attempting to micro-managing personal choices and freedoms down to the level of a soft drink, french fries and salt etc. under the guise of taking care of us through larger and larger government control.

Couple this with Toronto Hydro’s outright deceptive conduct when they voted to deceitfully increase electricity prices so it could hand over fat payments to cash hungry and fiscally inept City of Toronto the people are finally beginning to see red.

In my opinion they neglected their legal individual fiduciary responsibilities and duties to customers by diverting funds needed by the utility for its system reliability by deceitfully increasing unwarranted dividend payments to the city of Toronto, as recently ruled by Ontario&#039;s Court of Appeal.

		<description>During the last 8 years councillors and the outgoing mayor have Increased Taxes Over the actual rate of inflation by almost 20%, which is not a prudence practice with taxpayer’s money. 
A new mayor and council must ensure that all departmental spending is capped at the rate of inflation and further all budgets must be done on zero based budgeting process commencing with the 2011 budget any new mayor and new councillors as a minimum start in the right direction to correct Toronto’s fiscal crisis.

		<description>My husband works for Turtle Island Recycling, the company that is responsible for the Etobicoke Garbage Pickup and I have to say that I&#039;m very disapointed in Rossi&#039;s information collecting abilities, since TIR is NOT unionized.  They had a union vote a few years ago but it never went through.
I also live in Etobicoke so I can&#039;t really comment on how bad the garbage strike was last year but I can tell you what I heard and that was a simple &#039;this has gone on too long&#039; and &#039;it&#039;s got to end soon&#039; so I don&#039;t know where he&#039;s getting the idea that the strike ended before the people of Toronto were ready for it to end.
Also, his request for cooperation, not confrontation is ridiculous. How would he react if his job was under threat? Would you smile and shake hands with the bloke responsible for it or would you drag your heels and fight him all the way?</description>
