$1 billion invested in modern infrastructure is a major win for Hamilton. To question whether or not to take the offer is unconscionable, in my view. Let's see now, take the billion or take zero, create significant tension between Hamilton and the provincial government and fund all transit improvements through municipal taxes. It's the height of irresponsibility. It's not as if the provincial government is wanting to invest a billion in an open pit mine in Hamilton. It's modern, efficient and sustainable rapid transit. And we need it. So do our kids.
