Controversy Over Spending
In February 2010, an article in the Toronto National Post outlined abuse of spending and failure to follow proper tendering processes. Although the project was canceled, it is rumored to have reappeared. http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/toronto/archive/2010/02/03/on-the-toronto-waterfront-not-so-high-speed.aspx

Famous quotes containing the words controversy and/or spending:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
