TTC accused of wasting tax dollars in decade-long battle


TTC( Toronto Transit Commission) has spend over $450,000 dollar on lawyers to fight blind lawyer. David Lepofsky is a senior Ontario government lawyer who waged a decade – long but successful battle against the TTC over the issue. His perspective was to that they could use the taxes money wisely rather than spending on him. Also, the human rights in TTC, for instance the case about the subway system in 2005. He have won an order in July that gave the TTC 30 days to start announcing all stops on its bus and streetcar system. TTC have spend huge amount of money to defend against them which was waste. They said that TTC must give the nine city councillors who serve as commissioners special training on the needs of the disabled, as well as all future drivers, supervisors and senior managers. In my opinion, TTC should not use all the citizen taxes to just to oppose the lawyer, David Lepofsky. TTC should give more respects and human rights to the citizen and make TTC a better place. I strong recommend that they should get punished from the government in fact that they just waste about 450,000 dollar which should use for the citizens.
