Please

I  spent twenty minute trying to find a comment on the Rob Ford issue that  I accidentally deleted  late last night.
I can't look any more.
It hurts my eyes to keep scanning the tiny greyed-out print in the deleted file.
So ....will the person who wrote the comment  please  send it  to me again. 
I want to print it.

We worked on the capital budget again  on Monday night. . From 7 until 10.30 P.M.  I think we did some good work,  It's hard to tell  until we're done. 
We will not be doing the multi-million dollar renovation to the town hall or spending hundreds of  thousands of dollars on the customer service thing-a-mi-jig. 
I have to try to get  the new roof and HVAC system for the old library back on the table for discussion.
A decision  has been   pending on the disposition of the building  since the new library was completed and occupied. 
A year ago, Council passed a resolution directing staff to advise on disposition of the old library and  older still firehall on Victoria Street. 
Council direction has not been followed.
No report has been presented. 
Instead  a recommendation is  made to spend thousands of dollars  on a new roof and HVAC system on the old library. 
Like the resolution never happened. 
Like Council doesn't exist. 
Like it doesn't matter what Council directs  because they're not running things anyway. 
Like  Council is kind of a  peripheral floater on the vision of  the Executive Leadership Team.  
 
Last night Council allocated $197,000 from the Hydro Reserve to pay for the Sesquicentennial Celebration.
That's like using a credit card to buy candy.
If that's not frittering  the fund away in bits and pieces ,I don't know what is. 
I  begin to suspect our Mayor may be a secret shopaholic. 
But we put the boots to the Tennis Club's idea for a playhouse(read year round tennis facilities)in the flood plain to add the exclusive use of  publicly-owned  tennis courts and club house at McMahon Park.
