Carl, 
The motion itself may not be completely political in nature, as I believe there might be some special interest catering included, however I believe political views play a part. Eric Croft is a Liberal, This motion would definitely add more government oversight, which is a "go too" move for our Liberal representatives. Its not a coincidence that a similar ordinance last year was also proposed by a Liberal representative. Once again I ask, has any "known" Liberal representative proposed anything to "reduce" government oversight, control, or taxes (er, I mean ... "User Fees"?
