The Mayors don't know how much their plan will cost, aren't willing to contribute anything from their tax base and aren't willing use land capture financing techniques. However, the problem is the Province. The same Province who has already committed a huge amount of money to these projects. What about the Mayors who have committed NOTHING but canned statements? 

The Mayors simply want to hang billions in tax increases on the Province with zero accountability on their end.  If they make a billion dollar tax increase an election issues again, it will set back Transit again. Most people in the region, and Province, will see zero benefit from the Mayors plan. In fact, spending most of the budget on Broadway ensures other areas will see no improvements for a decade,. Paying more for less isn't a great value proposition. The Mayors should take a look in the mirror and find a way to take care of their own house before they start sticking their nose in Provincial elections.
