Sorry to harp on about this, but item 60 in budget Appendix M13 contemplates ending the Community Investment Grant Program. That this is being considered, however remotely, is crazy. I'm struggling to find a list of all the groups the CIGP funds b/c if you saw it, it'd blow your mind. #yqrcc /1

If you're wondering about the size of mandate that's driving the Grumpy Facebook Granpa's push to slash the city budget, note that Rashovich won his spot on council by a mere 35 votes, Tsiklis by 27 votes and Bezo by 132 votes.
