I did my best to keep calm while delegating but the more I read my speech, the anger I got. Why does this city not take transit investment seriously? It will SAVE MONEY in other areas! 🤦‍♂️

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

A quick note to the kid who started Grade 9 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School 30 years ago today: Don't worry, the Discman is not the peak of technology, and trust me, that centre-part haircut isn't the timeless classic you think it is. Congrats on making it through.

I was surprised there was not more questions but I guess Council doesn't want to get into the weeds of options.....
Other adjustments and deferrals will be need through the 2026 budget confirmation process.

Also:
• Route expansions
• No change to overall budget of $40.95 (ICIP grant funding
of $18.0 million)
• Scope change to reduce this from 30 buses down to 24
buses (needs ICIP approval)
(cont'd)
