Statement by Mary Lou Tanner
I strongly support LRT. I strongly support open and transparent government. The recent decision is neither open nor transparent with the province’s secret report. Release the report and let’s have it peer reviewed by trusted experts not someone whose name and credentials are also secret.
As for the cost to the Hamilton taxpayer, LRT is an important tool to spur investment, create jobs, and build new revenue in a modernized City. What this decision has done is taken away the economic uplift and increased tax revenue. The decision is what will hurt Hamilton taxpayers. LRT helps Hamilton taxpayers.
Hamilton’s 2018 election was about LRT. The people across this entire City overwhelmingly voted yes to LRT. Secret documents, economic disinvestment, anti-democratic. That is what the cancelling of LRT is. It’s not too late - say yes to open government, say yes to economic investment, say yes to democracy and the will of the people. Yes LRT.
