Waterloo finances look up

It is satisfying to see The Record editorial commenting on the progress we have made since the days I held public meetings and the extensive internal reviews 6 years ago to deal with the Rim Park financing fiasco. At that time we set out three budget targets get our finances under control. This paved the for the current three year budget providing stability and predictability to our finances. We are the only municipality in Ontario to have a 3 year budget, and now our city staff are being asked to speak to other municipalities and at conferences on how to implement them. We have made such great strides.
