It is my understanding that when planners have addressed the council with their concerns, they have been largely ignored. I think I remember the last one who quit during the SSB administration saying that he was too frustrated to continue. I can't remember his name now, but I think RT hired him back.

Why would anyone expect the City Council and Mayor to pay heed to the concerns of prudent budget planners when the City Council and Mayor are elected by citizens who ask the them to spend tax dollars on such projects as a citywide wireless network and bringing back the streetcars while ignoring the fact that the City already owes $1.5 billion?
