The Star's Coverage
With discussions about a new City of Toronto act having been in the news recently, it makes me wonder what the fuss is all about. The new act is supposed to allow Toronto to do such things as:

- decide when and where to install speed bumps (they seem to have no real problems with this)
- appoint a city auditor general (seems that this office already exists)
The new City of Toronto act will be nothing more that politcal show-boating; and there is absolutely nothing new about that in this City.
