Statement by Matt Jelly
The majority of Hamiltonians in four Provincial ridings just re-elected pro-LRT candidates (and rejected two Liberal candidates who ran against LRT). Hamiltonians elected Mayors in 2006 and 2010 who ran on a pro-LRT platform, despite Bob Bratina's now-unintelligible position(s).
This provincial government has at least twice promised Hamilton full funding for LRT- it should be council's job to hold them to that promise. Voters have given you that mandate repeatedly at the polls.
More fundamentally, Friday's meeting with the Minister of Transport should be fully public. After years of confusion on the LRT file from both City Council and Queen's Park, people for and against the proposal should have the opportunity to hear some clarity from their elected public servants.
