Finally, an election promiseOct. 20, 2006. 06:30 AM
I know it's a small thing and the promised money isn't much, but we finally have an election proposal from Mayor David Miller that might just increase our pulse rate. A bit.Starting next year, the mayor would distribute $100,000 a year for four years to each of Toronto's 44 wards to assist in beautifying their neighbourhoods.It's a start. It's not the massive makeover of our neighbourhoods that's needed, but having dipped his big toe in the water, Miller might return emboldened and committed to a grand beautification scheme involving service clubs, business, institutions, homeowners and BIAs.Miller's campaign strategy has been to promise little, let sleeping dogs lie, deflect anything controversial and ride back into office. It's a winning strategy, for sure.

Doesn't Say Much For The Voters Of Toronto
Royson is on the money and we can blame the apathy of the majority of those who have the right to vote but don't take advantage of this right. We are at the mercy of the special interest groups.
