If Ford wasn't such an idiot at math, we might not be facing such a shortfall

CBC News - Toronto - Toronto facing $774M shortfall in 2012

If, they had kept the land transfer tax, the vehicle registration tax, increased the property tax this year by 2% and allowed a 10 cent increase in TTC fees, we might not be facing such a shortfall in 2012. Instead, Ford and council will have to increase taxes and fees by much more to make up for his idiocy in the 2011 budget.

Rob Ford's Gravy Train amount: $204 million (abolishing the land transfer tax this is how much money it brought into the city in 2010)
