RE: “No, we’re not calling in the army”
I know it’s pretty unlikely…but I think I get ripped off by Royson James.
This is from a couple days ago, compare for yourself: http://tinyurl.com/m3rp9g
Metrolinx’s Robert Pritchard is quoted in referring to road tolls “”Too often, these ideas are ruled off the table, regardless of their merits, and before a serious public discussion takes place.” That sounds a lot like the Metrolinx’s refusal to electrify the Georgetown corridor.
City Council meeting 10am tomorrow at Metro Hall
