As theatre the drama now playing at City Hall merits a below-average rating. Even by the standards of 100 Queen Street West, the hysteria over the new taxes is over the top. The key players have all settled into predictable messages. But in this excitement there is an opportunity to develop some principles for better governance. Let’s hope that Council doesn’t lose sight of the underlying reasons for the current financial position. With any luck we won’t have a repeat performance next year.
