Rob Ford Mayor Livid over Toronto Hydro Building Purchase
( 715 Milner Ave, Scarborough )
“你肯定是在开国际玩笑吧？ 你是在说我们的公帑$800万，就这样不翼而飞了？”市长问道。市长说从未有任何人在任何场合向他说起过这宗交易。
“You have got to be kidding?” said the mayor. “Did you say $8 million?” He said he was never notified of this deal.
由此可见！
这是一宗秘密交易！
第一、高雪莉在2011年任职多市Hydro董事会Budget Chief预算总监时，批准了在一个地产交易中，为了一个工业厂房，付出了一年后翻倍的虚高价格。这个价格扭曲惊人，闻所未闻的地产项目交易，明显有多电和卖家进行不当利益输送的嫌疑。
第二、这么一个财务监管专业知识和操守疑点重重的人物，长期担任多伦多市府预算总监，只能说明她们在多个部门已经形成盘根错节的利益集团，如此，高雪莉(Shelley Carroll)本人廉洁奉公就是一个笑话。
第三、这个2011年多市重要政治人物卷入电力利益输送丑闻，也解释了安省自由党把安电在2015年强行私有化并纵容安电在随后短短两三年中制造高出温哥华一倍的电价和安电总裁高出全国同僚八倍工资的真正动机。
第四、面对这样一宗任何正常思维的人都会觉得得出极其可疑是贪赃枉法的案件，省警、皇家骑警怎么还无动于衷呢？

Mayor Rob Ford livid over Toronto Hydro building purchase
TORONTO
Is there any wonder hydro bills are going up?
At a time when politicians are warning of skyrocketing energy costs — as high as 42% in the next five years — documents show Toronto Hydro bought a building for twice the price the property had sold for a year earlier.
Documents obtained through Service Ontario show Toronto Hydro paid $16.8 million in December 2011 for a vacant 272,000-square-foot plant the utility still does not use at 715 Milner Ave.
The same property was purchased from Honda Canada Inc. for $8 million in October 2010 by an investor named Chris Hinn.
Toronto Hydro paid $8.8 million more for the six-hectare site than the price it commanded 14 months earlier.
When told of this purchase by the taxpayer-owned Toronto Hydro, Mayor Rob Ford was livid.
“You have got to be kidding?” said the mayor. “Did you say $8 million?” He said he was never notified of this deal.
Attempts to reach Hinn were unsuccessful and one of his associates declined to comment.
Outraged, Ford said he will call for a rundown of every aspect of this deal and will check with the councillors the city appointed to the hydro board — Josh Colle, Shelley Carroll and Gloria Lindsay Luby.
Lindsay Luby said she was not on the board at the time of the transaction, but will seek to clarify issues arising from the purchase.
“It is highly unusual and I will ask for more details,” she told the Toronto Sun.
Colle and Carroll did not reply to the Sun’s inquiries.
Meanwhile, Toronto Hydro spokesman Tanya Bruckmueller said the transaction was based on the property’s market value.
The building’s value was scrutinized by “two evaluators” and that part of the $16.8-million price includes its “chattels, rackings and forklifts.”
But Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College, said those same extras were part of the sale when it was purchased from Honda Canada in 2010.
McVety said he knows because he has been interested in purchasing the building over the years. He was at one time thinking about moving his college campus to this location, which he said offered ample room for a gymnasium.
“It seems like an outrageous growth in equity,” he said of hydro’s purchase. “How would you like to make $8 million in a little more than a year?”
He said he was shocked by the price it ended up going for.
“It stinks,” he said. “To me, people having to pay this as part of their increasing hydro bill is a front-page story rather than what Rob Ford burped up today. This is the taxpayer’s money.”
Since Torontonians paid so much for this property, one obvious question is why does it remain vacant?
Bruckmueller said it could become Toronto Hydro’s headquarters in 2015.
Ford said he will ask questions about why hydro officials chose to pay such a price for the building in 2011 — only to have it sit empty.
He called the notion “crazy” and said he is surprised it was not brought to his attention.
Ford said it should have been mentioned after he asked questions in May about the education credentials of Toronto Hydro’s $935,000-a-year president and CEO Anthony Haines.
A media story had surfaced saying an Ontario Energy Board application mistakenly stated that Haines had a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Lethbridge. He did not have the degree.
Haines told the Toronto Star it was a “formatting” error and was not “misleading.” Hopefully, Ford will find out whether ratepayers got zapped by the sale.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
