The last post was about the city considering a 7% property tax hike for the 2024 budget and in my comments included a number of sayings. I'm going to use another saying in my introduction to Lorne Gunter's thoughtful column.

The trouble with common sense is that its in short supply and when found should be treasured. As he does so often in his columns, Lorne Gunter presents some common sense, this time on the issue of city spending.

The city's annual budget should include retainer fees to the like of Lorne Gunter who would bring a common sense perspective to issues under deliberation.
