What choices did we collectively, through city council make in the 2013 City of London budget?

There are 9 general programs that City of London property taxes support: 

Culture;
Economic Prosperity
Environmental Services
Parks Recreation & Neighbourhood Services
Planning & Development Services
Protective Services
Social & Health Services
Transportation Services
Corporate Operational & Council Services

 In the drive towards a zero percent increase, the only program line item with any significant reduction was Social & Health Services. 

There was the first choice – hold 8 programs at zero or increase them, at the cost of reducing social and health services.

More to come..
