Day 1 has come up with some interesting items.......Intriguing ideas floated on how to improve the city
Here are some of the proposals presented at Day 1 of the Toronto Summit 2007:
Let the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority run the TTC's subway and give the bus routes to private or private/public bodies to operate.
Great idea.....
Limit terms for municipal elected positions to three, to overcome the near-invincibility of incumbents.
Limit them to two.......
Show that boosting incomes for low-income working-age adults benefits everyone by
increasing social cohesion, economic competitiveness and health.
Mom & Apple pie.....
Generously reward home or building owners who can cut energy consumption to less than a pre-set, stringent standard.
Who sets & monitors the standard....increase in bureaucracy?
Make Toronto an international centre to combat global warming.
Make Toronto a livable city for the property owners/taxpayers.
Keep schools open after class and during holidays to make them a stronger part of communities.
Good idea, staffed by parent volunteers.
Let cities decide whether to allow non-citizens to vote.
Good idea and let's tie councillor's salaries and budget to the voter turnout in their "riding."
