A good suggestion!

To start the week, mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi proposed building an eight-kilometre expressway tunnel beneath Toronto.

On Thursday he proposed a suggestion box.

Calling City Hall “deaf” to the ideas of Toronto citizens, Rossi announced his plan to create a Toronto Good Ideas Foundation — or “TGIF”— at a small news conference, huddled under a tent in the pouring rain across from the Island Airport.

“This may be new at City Hall, but it’s not new in the real world,” he said.

Along with a suggestion box at City Hall, Rossi’s TGIF would also have a website, where people can submit their ideas.

“I say that the best ideas come from the ordinary Torontonians, the front-line workers, who understand the problems that are facing our city because they live them each and every day.”

Doesn't the City already have that in 311?

Why propose an old idea?

James are you still pushing the inept Rossi? If how he helped direct the Liberal party is any indication, Toronto is better off without him.
