Newlyweds Tripti Ninan and Ryan Perera are Millennials and purchased their first home in Toronto just under a year ago. Based on their combined income and the down payment they were able to come up with, the couple bought a 700-square-foot, one-bedroom-plusden condo unit in Toronto’s west end near a subway station. “We knew our first step would be a condo. We wanted to start small and we wanted something low maintenance,”

It also helped that both Ninan and Perera’s parents have purchased a condo in the last five years and they were actively involved in helping their parents navigate the experience. “We took what we learned from our parents and applied it when the time came to buy a condo,” she said.

Depending on what they want and their needs, they did admit they’d consider moving be near impossible unless you have two steady outside Toronto proper. incomes over $100,000,” Wang explained. “Millennials have to start with a condo to build equity, a townhouse, or a small bungalow, or ••••• (purchase) not in the GTA.” Getting into the Toronto real estate market To help her clients get ready to get into isn’t impossible for Millennials (those ages 18 the Toronto market, Wang, who works for to 35) but it’s no walk in the park. Investors Group, helps future homebuyers Purchasing a property in this city’s hot sort out their priorities and come up with a market requires two things: preparation and plan of action to maximize their finances in a set time frame. the willingness to compromise. For the last 16 years, financial advisor Getting “house ready” as she put it requires Darlene Wang has helped scores of young a change of mindset, a new way of living. adults to get their finances in order so they “You need to sacrifice more than ever and can buy their first home in Toronto. make smart decisions,” said Wang, adding “You have to be realistic in terms of what understanding what’s involved in reaching you want and what you can get. If you have your goals helps avoid disappointment. an ego, you can’t play this game,” said Wang, Wang said Millennials aren’t usually thinking who admitted the likelihood of Millennials about getting their finances in order and saving purchasing a detached home in the city as up for a down payment on a property. “In their their first property is slim. head it’s ‘pay back me’ time,” she said, noting According to a recent report by Altus most Millennials in the 18 to 30 age range are Group for the Building Industry and Land in school or just finishing up their first postDevelopment Association, the average price secondary degree or diploma, for a newer detached home in the GTA was usually carry school debt, $1.05 million, which is more than double what have no kids, and want to it cost a decade ago and 21 per cent higher travel and party. than just over a year ago. Under her guidance, “An actual standalone home in the GTA will Wang has helped her clients to get “house ready” by tracking their spending, “Often, the first property making small adjustments to is a stepping stone that their budget, investing wisely, and being realistic about fits your current vacations and big purneeds and one chases. “Incomes have that will get a nowhere near good return.” increased the way re a l e s t a t e h a s Frank Leo increased. You must learn to do more
with less,” she said. Real estate broker Frank Leo, who has been serving clients in Toronto and the GTA for 28 years, said for Millennials the biggest thing is the pressure of being “squeezed out of the market.” Leo, of RE/MAX West Realty Ltd., advises young buyers to avoid jumping into the market before doing their research, specifically knowing exactly what they want and can afford. “A good representative on your side helps keep your emotions in check,” he said. “If a property isn’t what you need or want then don’t buy it.” He added those between the ages of 18 to 35 who want to purchase a property in Toronto need to take a close look at their needs, and based on their budget a good realtor will be able to help find the right home to buy. “If you buy well, that’s a good investment. If you buy poorly then you’re in trouble. You want to make sure you have someone who knows their stuff to give you the best advice,” he said. Leo also said Millennials need to realize it’s not likely they’ll be buying the home of their dreams the first time around. “Often, the first property is a stepping stone that fits your current needs and one that will get a good return,” he said. “Real estate is all about understanding value and getting the best property for your money.” Meray Mansour, real estate agent with Royal LePage Estate Realty, agreed noting getting into a smaller “first-step home” like a condo or a small bungalow for a few years is what will help first-time homeowners build equity for their dream home. With 18 years of experience in Toronto’s real estate market, she said bidding wars for anything in the $550,000 to $700,000 range are to be expected. “There’s so much demand and very low stock. I advise my clients to understand bidding wars are a reality but to not be discouraged,” she said. “And because today’s market is so hot, being too emotional can lead to irrational decisions. You need a realtor that’s going to advocate for you in this type of market.” She encouraged Millennials to go for it if they do have enough money saved up to get into the market. “Don’t wait because the market is so hot,” she said.

Hope for Hearts Gala fundraiser for SickKids aims to raise $50,000 A fundraiser for clinical heart research at The Hospital for Sick Children will be held in North York Friday, June 10. The second annual Hope for Hearts Gala will take place at The Granite Club, 2350 Bayview Ave. A cocktail reception will begin at 7
p.m., with dinner from 8 to 10 p.m., followed by an afterparty. The gala will support research at the
echocardiography laboratory at SickKids. Each year, about one out of every 100 babies born has a congenital heart
defect and more than half need surgery to survive. By using ultrasound technologies, doctors are now able to diagnose the presence of a cardiac abnormality as early as 18 to 30 weeks into pregnancy. The gala’s fundraising goal
is $50,000. “ We w a n t p e o p l e t o understand that research is practical and that it can change lives,” Dr. Barbara Cifra, founder of the Hope for Hearts Gala, said in a release. “The research we do can
not only change a child’s life, it can save a child’s life.” Tickets cost $250 and can be purchased through www.eventbrite.ca/e/hopefor-hearts-gala-2016-tickets-21133488834 For information visit www. hopeforhearts.ca

he city kicked off Bike Month, which runs from May 30 to June 30, with a blitz by Toronto police writing tickets to drivers parking in bike lanes. The heightened enforcement campaign called “Right 2 Bike” ran for one week until June 5 and saw parking enforcement officers working with traffic services and divisional units hand out 273 tickets at $150 a piece, totalling $40,950 in fines. That sounds like a lot, but the campaign to target drivers with total disregard for cyclists should continue in some shape or form. Bad habits are hard to break, especially this one. Since a bylaw change in 2014, which increased the fine for blocking a bike lane from $60 to $150, about 17,000 tickets have been issued to date. For more recent empirical evidence, just check Twitter where cyclists regularly tweet pictures of cars, taxis and our view delivery trucks blocking bike Make biking to lanes. While parking enforcement work easier for officer Brian Moniz noted most of the enforcement in the blitz cyclists took place in the downtown core, this could be a growing and more prevalent issue across the city. additional blitzes
With the city discussing how to expand cycling infrastructure in Toronto to the tune of $16 million per year for 10 years, any increase in bike lanes would only exacerbate the problem of cyclists being put in danger by drivers blocking their right-of-way. Perhaps having additional blitzes and an increased awareness campaign, combined with even higher fines for offenders is a potential solution to curbing bad driver behaviour. The alternative of not having some kind of sustained campaign to ensure the safety of cyclists will have an adverse impact on what the city seemingly wants to achieve through holding Bike Month each year. That is to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride their bikes more. Bike to Work days? Good luck finding more people to participate if it means navigating Toronto streets with the added challenge of swerving around parked cars.

Karygiannis plays role of council’s angry man Ah, Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis. We have not seen his like since… well really, since the last time the voters of Ward 39-Scarborough Agincourt sent a councillor to City Hall. Jim Karygiannis is the first-term successor to Toronto’s former budget chief, Mike Del Grande — who kept Ward 39 strange for a decade before that, often with the help of Karygiannis himself, who had been a Liberal MP for even longer in the area. In 2004, the two of them made headlines, personally helping to bust up marijuana grow-ops in their communities, while Del Grande also kept an inventory of constituents whose homes violated city bylaws. Del Grande had a brief tenure as former Mayor Rob Ford’s first budget chief, but consistently bemoaned the failings of his colleagues on council and delinquent constituents alike, maintaining a consistent and in retro-
david nickle the city spect magnificent rage. When Del Grande decided he’d had enough in 2014, Karygiannis happily assumed his angry role — at if anything a greater volume. He took on the Uber ride-sharing industry in the rhetorical equivalent of a berserk rampage, behaving so badly during Licensing and Standards Committee hearings that Mayor John Tory called him on the carpet. More than a decade after he and Del Grande waged their own local War on Drugs, he came to the defence of illegal storefront marijuana shops. And this week, two reports from the city’s Integrity Commissioner calling him out for behaviour not too dissimilar to those pot-busting days with Mike Del Grande. In one instance in 2015, Karygiannis scared the bejeezers out of a family
guilty of parking on the “skirt” of their home’s driveway. In another, he scared the bejeezers out of an Uber driver who he’d spotted going to pick up a ride in a house in his ward. The Integrity Commissioner found that Karygiannis had run afoul of the councillors’ code of conduct, which incredibly requires that councillors not intimidate people in the course of going about their business. On June 7, Karygiannis mumbled an apology on the floor of council. But he wasn’t sorry, not really. In an interview, Karygiannis maintained that he should be able to tell constituents to obey the law if he wants to, particularly if the city is slow to enforce. And if he’s intimidating in the course of doing that? “Maybe the method, she (the Integrity Commissioner) doesn’t agree with it. Maybe my method is a little rough,” he said. “I’m a big guy. What can I tell you? I’m six feet
and 260 pounds. When you see me walking up to you, you feel intimidated.” Maybe there always has to be a Jim Karygiannis at City Hall: someone who ignores decorum and puts on a show, a John Belushi character turning civilized discourse into a proper Animal House. When he was a councillor, Rob Ford fulfilled that role, spewing rhetoric across the city while digging down on the little things in neighbourhoods and dissing his colleagues for their city-funded office budgets. Doug Ford played that role a bit when Rob became mayor and Giorgio Mammoliti still dips toe in that pool from time to time, but clearly he’s getting tired. So maybe it’s good, that Karygiannis is here to keep an old Toronto tradition alive.

Vet recalls D-Day at ceremony DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com
David Nickle/Metroland
D-Day veteran Martin Maxwell received France’s Legion of Honour at D-Day commemoration ceremony.
Seventy-two years ago, young Martin Maxwell landed his glider in Normandy, France. The Austrian-born soldier was an orphan, who’d fled Vienna as a child after the Nazi atrocities of Kristallnacht and joined the Royal Tank Corps, before volunteering for the Glider Pilot Regiment. He along with five other glider pilots and teams of commandos was among the first to land in France, on the eve of the D-Day operation: the June 6, 1944 invasion that would turn the course of the Second World War. His job: along with his team, to help to quietly, lethally take three strategic bridges behind German lines in Normandy. “We landed at night,” recalled Maxwell, now 92, as he stood on Canadian soil at Nathan Phillips Square for the 72nd commemoration
of the allied D-Day invasion that turned the course of the Second World War. “We had to kill them, with knives and bayonets. Not with bullets.” The killing was over quickly – within 20 minutes according to Maxwell’s account. They held the bridges for another three days, before moving on to participate in the battle of Arnhem in Holland, where he was wounded and captured by the Germans. In Toronto since 1952 Released a year later, at the end of the war, he went on to work with the U.S. State Department, prosecuting Nazi war criminals before coming to live in Toronto in 1952. On June 6, 2016, Maxwell was awarded France’s Legion of Honour at the D-Day commemoration at Nathan Phillips Square. There, he remembered the night before the day that to his
mind changed history. “For me, it was the turning point of everything,” he said. “It was the beginning of the end of Nazi Germany. D-Day. I know others fought in Stalingrad. But for us, it’s D-Day.” The Allied invasion on the beaches of Normandy was a calculated risk intended to push German forces back from France and Holland. Canadians fought alongside British and Americans to liberate Europe. Maxwell recalled hearing from his commander, Major General Arthur Montague Browning, days before the attack. “He called us together and said we’re all going, but you are the first ones in and the chances are many of you will not return,” he said. “So write your last letters and we will mail them if you’re gone.” Maxwell was lucky, but many of his comrades were not. He was among the survi-
vors who returned to Europe for the 60th anniversary of the liberations. Then, he went to the cemetery in Osterberg, where 1700 of his division were buried. “I recognized the names and put faces on them,” he said. “They were glider pilots like I, and parachuters. They fought there and fought on to eventually give freedom to the people of France and others. There were crosses, and Stars of David, and some with names engraved, and some without names: Here Lies a Soldier. The one that I have with me is the inscription, ‘For Your Tomorrows We Gave Our Today.’ “Today I am really back at that cemetery, and I tell them it is a great honour I receive today. But I say to them although it was given to me, to each one of you like I that fought the enemy, deserve a part of that.”
Cops to mind key intersections Trustee byelection deadline Friday DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com City traffic assistants, which is to say police officers, will be stationed at key intersections to help improve traffic flow as a part of Toronto’s congestion management plan, said Mayor John Tory Monday. Tory announced the pilot project, which will see eight intersections and stretches of road overseen by “traffic assistant personnel,” or police officers. The plan, Tory said, is to make traffic move more quickly and make the intersections safer for pedestrians and cyclists. “The No. 1 priority for Toronto residents continues to be their ability to move around this city. We’re taking action to keep Toronto moving by

targeting some of our most congested intersections,” Tory said in a statement. “Traffic assistant personnel will improve the flow of traffic by directing traffic, making sure vehicles don’t block intersections and stopping
illegal left turns.” The intersections and roadways, which will be overseen four weeks in the summer and another four weeks in the fall, include the following: • Sheppard Avenue and Yonge Street • Bay Street and Queen Street • Front Street and Simcoe Street • Lake Shore Boulevard Parklawn Road • Front Street and University Avenue • Bay Street and Bloor Street • University Avenue and Adelaide Street • Bay Street from Bloor Street to Front Street

10 Pride Month events to check out in Toronto Toronto’s first official Pride Month is well underway, with a long list of events set to last throughout June and into July. Pride has grown in recent years; formerly known as Pride Week, it typically ran longer than seven days and stretched throughout much of the downtown core. Given the calibre and diversity of events celebrating the lesbian, gay, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community, there was certainly plenty of room for expansion. The various events touch on several themes, and while some promise a night of partying and revelry, others look in-depth at social injustices, past struggles and the ongoing fight for equality. Here are 10 Pride Month highlights: • Human Rights Panels and Lectures: from Trans Rights in the New Generation to Cairo’s 2013 Bathhouse Raid to the intersection of queer rights with women’s rights and civil rights, these

There was a lot of Pride enthusiasm during the 2015 Pride Parade. There are plenty of events this year as the city kicks off the inaugural Pride Month.
panels and lectures show the advances made in LGBTQ rights and those that still need to be made. At the 519, 519 Church St., at various times throughout June. • Club Babylon: the fictional nightclub from the hit TV series Queer as Folk comes to life for a late-night celebration featuring cast members from the show, go-go boys and music. At
Fly 2.0, 6 Gloucester St., from 10:30 p.m. Friday, June 17 to 4 a.m. Saturday, June 18. • XLSIOR: Sugar Beach Party: hit the beach for a massive circuit party on Toronto’s revamped Waterfront with live music from local and international stars, dancing and more. At Sugar Beach, 22 Dockside Dr. from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, June 19.
• Rufus Does Judy: Rufus Wainwright reprises his legendary reproduction of Judy Garland’s famed 1961 Carnegie Hall concert as part of the Luminato Festival. The ambitious show features the talented singer and a series of special guests. At the Hearn Generating Station, 440 Unwin Dr. at 8 p.m. Thursday, June 23. • An Evening with George Takei: iconic actor George Takei, now a Twitter legend and leading LGBTQ activist, speaks of his life experiences from time spent in internment camps through his time as Sulu on Star Trek to his current online fame, mixing his trademark humour with serious topics such as social justice and equal rights. At the Ryerson Theatre, 43 Gerrard St. E. at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 26. • AIDS Candlelight Vigil: remembering those who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS and standing in solidarity with those currently afflicted with it, caregivers and researchers,
this heartfelt event offers strength and hope to many. At Barbara Hall Park, 519 Church St., at 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 28. • Family Pride: a familyfriendly event with children’s activities, sports, games, crafts, storytelling, face painting and live entertainment, this event offers plenty of activities for LGBTQ-parented families and queer allies alike. At Church Street Public School, 83 Alexander St. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 2 and Sunday, July 3. • StreetFair: this weekendlong celebration takes over the Church-Wellesley Village with local businesses, artisans, health and wellness organizations and more along Church, Wellesley and Alexander streets. From 7 p.m. onward Friday, July 1, noon onward Saturday, July 2 and noon to 11 p.m. Sunday, July 3. • Dyke March: the penultimate event at Pride Month
sees women and trans people take to the streets for a political demonstration and march, followed by a rally in Allan Gardens with activists, poets and artists on hand to keep things going. Kicks off at Church and Bloor streets at 2 p.m. Saturday, July 2. • Pride Parade: Pride Month’s biggest event, the parade offers a little of everything, from social justice and equal rights activism to outright partying in the streets as the LGBTQ community and allies celebrate en masse. The event typically brings out an estimated one million people to the downtown core. Kicks off at Bloor and Church streets at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 3.

Pollard, a name you can trust
Toronto police from N o r t h Yo r k ’s 3 1 Division have issued a fraud alert about a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scam involving Apple iTunes gift cards. Police said the CRA won’t ask for overdue tax payments to be made by the
gift cards and won’t ask for the access/PIN code for iTunes cards. The CRA also w o n’t s e n d police officers “in less than an hour to arrest individuals for immediate non-payments,” police said. Anyone contacted by someone claiming to be a CRA agent should be
cautious about providing information and shouldn’t be afraid to ask for the person’s credentials and phone number. People who have been defrauded by this or any other scam should contact police to have an incident report taken. For more information, visit antifraudcentre.ca or contact the Canadian AntiFraud Centre at 1-888-4958501.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Working with Sam Samivand on the sale of our home couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Sam originally met with us to go over his process which was extremely thought through and strategic. We liked that he only put in place steps that generated true interest in the property - not just including something that has “always been done” but doesn’t positively influence the sale. He also respected and incorporated our own needs and comfort levels in this process which was very much appreciated. What was also impressive was that he really helped manage our expectations on what we could get for the sale of our home. He was always fully prepared - showing us historical sale prices on comparable homes as well as discussing in detail the current state of the market leveraging his experience and knowledge in the industry. He provided us with an educated but realistic estimate of a price range that he felt that we could get for our home - he wasn’t just trying to impress us by guessing the potential for the highest possible bid. The marketing materials used were very targeted and of high quality and the professional photos beautifully presented the home. The actual sale was done in one evening with Sam strategically negotiating the multiple offers submitted. We ending up selling our home at record prices in our neighbourhood! We couldn’t have been happier with the end result and that was all due to Sam’s expertise and customized strategy that he put in place for us. Thank you Sam for making the sale of our home as easy and successful as possible. Michael Whittaker and Vanessa Martin

Chai Lifeline Canada holds fundraiser to help send kids to camp fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Chai Lifeline Canada is hoping to raise $30,000 for their summer camp programs through a fundraiser later this month. The third annual CONSPIRE2INSPIRE fundraiser for young professionals will be held Thursday, June 30 at the Burroughes Building, 639 Queen St. W, for Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha Special. The North York based notfor-profit organization offers the two overnight camps in Glen Spey, New York free of charge for some 400 children and teens living with cancer or other blood disorders, and
life-long chronic illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and Crohn’s disease. The eight-week camp is divided into two-week stays, with campers enjoying typical camp experiences, such as swimming, boating, sports, and crafts, while their medical needs are tended to by trained staff. real camp experience “These kids enjoy a real camp experience,” said Craig Fried, director of development for Chai Lifeline Canada. “If they have cancer, we have a full infirmary. They are usually precluded from things like camp, but here,
kids feel like kids again. It’s safe and healthy for them, and gives parents respite.” Chai Lifeline Canada started out with a summer camp program for children with cancer and has grown to offer more than a dozen programs and services for sick youngsters, all of which are free of charge. Services include family counselling, Big Brothers and Big Sisters match-ups, tutoring for children who miss school for extended periods of time, family retreats, and the two summer camps. “Families never have to pay, we pay for everything,” Fried said.

There’s a hitch for seniors and youth to activate their Presto discount Some seniors are crying foul about Presto. While the smart-fare card distinguishes between regular and special fares, in the case of senior and student rates there’s a catch. In order to receive the discounted fare rate, a “concession” must be added to the card, and the only place to do that is Davisville Station. That could mean a long trek for mobility-challenged seniors. At a funding announcement last week, Andy Byford said discussions were underway between the TTC and Presto for expanding the number of outlets to obtain a concession, as well as adding full-service vending machines to provide the service. But he said the focus right now is getting all TTC vehicles and stations Presto-equipped by the end of the year. transportation conference is private There’s an important confer-

But not much has been publicized about the threeday Big Transportation Data conference, organized by the city and the University of Toronto.

The oft-maligned Union Pearson (UP) Express celebrated some good news this week. The city’s only direct rapid-transit link between Union Station and Toronto Pearson Airport celebrated its first full year of operation on Monday. The service first came on-line before the start of the Toronto Pan Am Games, but was quickly excoriated by the public and elected officials alike for its high cost of use. With moribund ridership attributed to the high cost of fares, Metrolinx did an about-face earlier this year and slashed prices significantly. Since then, the agency reports ridership has quadrupled.

Civic Light Opera Company’s 1967 musical revival of Charlie Brown still holds up Based on the Peanuts comic strips by Charles M. Schulz, the musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown has a charm and whimsicality that matches its source material. Filled with light-hearted tunes, the musical has been popular with audiences ever since its debut in 1967. The Civic Light Opera Company’s production sticks to the original script and score ignoring for the most part the changes put in for the 1999 Broadway revival. It serves as a reminder of how much fun the original version really is. As written, having adults dress and act like kids puts a unique spin on the fanciful conversations that are lifted from the funny pages. All six performers are outfitted in colourful costumes that establish each character on sight. Kerr y Wilkins as the Beethoven-obsessed Schroeder takes in the antics
mark andrew lawrence front row centre with bemusement and even tries to organize the gang into a glee club. He remains oblivious to the loving comments from Lucy played by Julie Lennick. She can be tough and bossy particularly with her brother Linus, played with sweet innocence by Peter Loucas. When Lucy gives Linus her own explanations of “Little Known Facts” it becomes a comic highlight, as does his attempt in vain to give up his beloved blanket in the song “My Blanket and Me.” David Haines gets to steal a few scenes as Snoopy, first imagining himself as the First World War Flying Ace doing battle with The Red Baron and later celebrating the arrival of suppertime with an enthusiastic song and dance. Caroline Moro-Dalicandro plays Peppermint Patty join-
ing the gang for a disastrous baseball game and offering moral support to Charlie Brown. Joe Cascone gives the title character a great deal of heart. As he shares stories about his obsession with the little red-headed girl he is too shy to talk with and takes his lunches alone, Cascone never overplays the self-pity. It rises to the surface, but never overpowers the scenes. He encourages the cast to play for naturalism. Even though their exchanges are frequently quite unintentionally funny they never play the scenes as if setting up punch lines. You’re show plays at the Zion Cultural Centre, 1650 Finch Ave. E. until Sunday. Visit www.MusicTheatreToronto. com or call 416-755-1717. Veteran theatre reviewer Mark Andrew Lawrence offers his insights on stage and musical productions for The North York Mirror. Contact him at nym@insidetoronto.com

Councillors won’t rule out sale of Toronto Hydro and Toronto Parking Authority DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto councillors have refused to rule out the sale of Toronto Hydro and the Toronto Parking Authority as it goes forward trying to avoid the fiscal calamity predicted by City Manager Peter Wallace in his report on the city’s finances. Councillors voted down two motions from Toronto CentreRosedale Councillor Kristyn Wong-
Tam to remove the possible sale of the two publicly owned companies, to help fill a potentially crippling gap between what the city takes in taxes and the demands of its capital and operating budgets. Wallace told councillors the only things protecting the city from the funding crisis are short-term boons that cannot last: the real-estateboom-driven land transfer tax, the provincial upload of social programs and a recent drop in welfare. He

told councillors they would have to consider a broad suite of measures – everything from service reductions to new taxes and tax increases, and the monetization of assets. Wong-Tam argued council should avoid monetizing two of the biggest prizes: Toronto Hydro and the Toronto Parking Authority. “I don’t think it would be very honest for us to even pretend that the sale of Toronto Hydro and the Parking Authority is a good political
decision in the long run,” she said. “You give up far too much and get far too little in return.” She noted Toronto Hydro has provided the city with $500 million in dividends since 2006 and pointed to Chicago’s failed experiment in selling off its parking to a private consortium that eventually sold it to an overseas consortium. Council narrowly defeated both motions with the motion to take the parking authority off the table
losing on a tie vote. Mayor John Tory argued council shouldn’t rule out any options. Staff will report back later this summer on various options for balancing the city’s budget in the long term. Wallace made it clear to councillors they would have to take serious measures in the short term. He said he would offer advice on how to monetize public assets, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they would be sold.
