Two months ago, the City launched a public review of all its services and programs. The goal was to learn more about what Torontonians prized most highly and what they were willing to forgo in the name of cost-reduction and minimizing taxes. This public review (which we found to be deeply flawed) was coupled with an evaluation of the municipal government by outside consultants who examined how successful our municipal services are and looked at the alternatives some other cities have been exploring.
