City okays Fragedakis, Burnside motion on Toronto review

Mary Fragedakis (Ward 29) seconded by John Burnside (Ward 26) have had their motion accepted by City Council asking for the provincial government to expand its small-window summer review of the City of Toronto Act. This legislation amalgamated the five municipalities of the former Metropolitan Toronto and created the City we know today. Some think there is both inefficiency and unnecessary politics caused by forcing diverse communities together. A review announced July 2, 2015 permits barely a month for written submissions and provides for no public meetings. Former East York Mayor Alan Redway has been campaigning for a review similar to those done of the Toronto government in the years prior to  amalgamation. Motion
