Toronto Council considering removing itself from jurisdiction of Ontario Municipal Board

The Ontario Municipal Board is an unelected body appointed by the provincial government that has been the source of a number of horror stories.

People objecting to obtrusive, unwanted over-development in their neighbourhoods have been threatened with fines and hearing costs by the OMB. The OMB had forced development down the throats of communities, overruling elected representatives.

It's an undemocratic, administrative boondoggle that should never have been brought into existence.

Toronto City Council is currently considering the proposal to ask the Province to abolish the OMB.

Let's hope they make the right decision and vote YES.
