McGinty Gave Miller The Keys To The Candy Store

And it is evident that Miller and his flunkies will take full advantage of the opportunities to stick it to the taxpayers of Toronto. Socialists look after each other.

December 31, 2006 Moscoe has a licence to tax

By SUE-ANN LEVY

Mere moments after being named chairman of the licensing and standards committee, Howard Moscoe declared which businesses he intends to crack down on with new laws.

In fact, the bombastic Toronto council warhorse issued a list of "topics" he'd be tackling this term now that the City of Toronto Act gives Mayor David Miller and his minions the power to license the world's inhabitants. (Okay, my words, not theirs).

Moscoe boasted that he plans to look at licensing landlords and their buildings, strip plazas, errant taxi drivers from "out-of-town" who scoop fares in Toronto, mobile signs, phony parking tickets, clothing drop boxes used by charities, street vendors and tow trucks -- among other things.

Moscoe preferred not to talk last week when I reached him on his cellphone at Disneyland in Florida.

And it goes on and on.......
