| Bos, Neil | No | I have no confidence that Hamilton City Council can make Hamilton International into a viable airport. If we go back to flying Harvards and Lancasters, we're ideally situated for success.
This Airport Employment Growth District is just another wrong-headed and dead-end strategy. By the way, what does "employment growth" mean? Tax free? Let's focus on real opportunities, e.g. LRT (vital to downtown beautification), regular GO service to central Hamilton, a big-league stadium (25,000 heated seats), area rating (I love this one), Citizens' Advisory (a huge favorite). And lest we forget: Stop the Quarry! |
| Gaspar, Brian | Yes | I support the development and I can't stress enough the proper planning of this endeavour to create good paying jobs in order to add stimulus to our region. |
