	Howard Moscoe: hike Toronto City Councillors salaries
		Given the calendar, Moscoe is not worried about the apathy-plagued November 10 municipal election: "What normally happens is the issue is so politicized it becomes a public debate no matter what.
		Moscoe said he’d be willing to accept a lower salary if the panel recommended it, but he’s almost certain the recommendation would be the opposite.
		Giorgio Mammoliti seconded Moscoe’s motion, a brave move considering that councillors who say nothing still get to cash in on any pay hikes.

		Moscoe was strongly critical of a 2004 decision by the provincial government of Dalton McGuinty to negotiate future infrastructural arrangements with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario rather than with individual communities.
		Moscoe was appointed as TTC chair in January 1998, and soon emerged as a prominent rival to David Gunn, the TTC's chief general manager.
		Moscoe responded to the threat by introducing a legal challenge against the manner of the new members' selection: both were chosen by a simple majority of council, and Moscoe argued that a two-thirds majority was required.

	City councillor threatens veterans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Councillor Howard Moscoe is planning to introduce a motion before council to revoke this tax break if the vets continue to allow smoking on the premises of their clubs.
		Howard probably forgot to tell his constituent that his business was actually increasing because he was in too much of a hurry to run off to bully the vets.
		To Howard Moscoe, these veterans are nothing more than props--to be used so that the little councillor can show what a big man he is. In a council of anti-war leftists, who are on a never ending quest to control every aspect of peoples’ lives, Howard Moscoe stands out.

	Eye Weekly - Editorial - 07.20.06
		Those who'd like to see Moscoe resign cite inappropriate political interference as the main reason he should step down, but the drive to get rid of him appears to be motivated more by politics than a real concern for the state of Toronto's transit.
		Moscoe was wrong to negotiate with the union.
		Moscoe may have been one of the few people at the heart of the TTC's troubles both in 1999 and again today, but there are other factors common to both time periods.

	editorial
		Our colleague John Barber at the Globe and Mail is confidently predicting that veteran Councillor Howard Moscoe will soon be anointed as the new “czar” of licensing in the city as Chair of the new Licensing and Standards Committee, although there has been no official announcement of this as yet.
		Mayor David Miller may think this is a good way to keep Moscoe in his “inner circle” on the Executive Board of the city, and as a sop to his long time supporter to ease the pain of most likely being dropped from his cherished chairmanship of the Toronto Transit Commission.
		Moscoe proved himself to be a destructive bull in a china shop at the TTC as well.

		Howard Moscoe might have otherwise merited a VoteToronto endorsement, except for his cutting a scandalous deal with Bombardier to vote for expansion of the Island Airport.

		Moscoe switched his position to obtain a deal with Bombardier, the manufacturer of aircraft to be used at the expanded airport, in exchange for Bombardier dropping their opposition to a development in Moscoe’s ward adjacent to their plant.

	Toronto Star Taxi Plate/Leasing Investigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Moscoe says one way to reform the industry is for the city to lease out plates to drivers, then use the money collected to buy back plates from current holders.
		Moscoe warned that the value of plates will fall, no matter what reforms are enacted, because their current value is based on the rents charged.
		Moscoe says the simplest way to fix the system would be for the city to issue a plate to anyone who wanted one.

	Transit Toronto - Newspaper Archive: Under fire, Moscoe looks at resigning as TTC chair
		Moscoe said he was at least considering giving up his post as TTC chairman after the Nov. 13 election to make way for TTC vice-chairman Adam Giambrone, who has taken on a bigger role speaking to the media since the May 29 strike that stranded more than 700,000 transit users for most of that day.
		Moscoe, who has been in municipal politics since the 1970s and has signed up to run for his Eglinton-Lawrence council seat again, has also had health problems.
		Moscoe spoke to reporters yesterday after a news conference at the Royal Ontario Museum, where the provincial government announced $2-million in funding for elaborate plans to redesign three downtown subway stations, starting with Museum station.

	Random subway searches: a waste of time and money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Although to reasonable people, Howard Moscoe is nothing but a joke, he is undoubtedly expressing the will of our political leaders about the futility of instituting random searches of subway passengers.
		Moscoe kept talking about steps that were taken to make the subway system more secure after a major accident 10 years ago and after the electricity flout of 2003.
		Howard later bragged that he had a security system installed in his home but only after it had been broken into.

	Eye Weekly - A house divided - 04.07.05
		The premise of last week's cover story, an open letter to TTC Chair Howard Moscoe, was that the TTC had to change, regardless of whether it ever gets more funding from Ottawa or the province.
		In contrast to the thinking of many transit activists and lobbyists, Moscoe is firmly convinced that lowering fares and increasing system-wide service is not the way to solve the TTC's problems.
		Moscoe pointed out that though it's only been a little over three years since provincial condominium legislation was changed to allow condos to be built in space sold as air rights, the TTC is already moving forward in selling the air above its subway stations for fun and profit.

		Moscoe admitted in a Wednesday interview with CBC News Online that he did speak with Bob Kinnear — the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 head who has been critical of Ducharme — in order to avoid a June 5 walkout.

	UTU: News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		TORONTO -- The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Chairman Howard Moscoe said the transi agency has averted a strike by a hair's breadth by offering its union $600 in extra payments over three years for all 8,400 members, according to this report by Jeff Gray published by the Toronto Globe and Mail.
		Moscoe said the payments -- agreed to in a last-minute shouting match with union president Bob Kinnear -- are meant to compensate TTC workers for having to pay into their pension plan for the past five years, while other city workers did not have to.
		Moscoe said the TTC could not budge on its wage hike offer because the city's other unions would then hold it up as a precedent for their upcoming contract talks.

		I did not see the press conference in question, but based on Girl on the Right's amazing letter, he seemed to think that avoiding taking a stand against terrorists and living in a city no one can find on a map was all the protection we needed.
		From that we can infer that (1) Howard Moscoe believes the British are at fault for what happened to them yesterday, and (2) the city he serves is some two-bit backwater burg not worthy of notice.
		Howard Moscoe's comments are merely an egregiously appalling example of Canadian narcissism.

		Moscoe said that his experience as a local councillor has taught him that it is difficult to get all of the store owners to work together to clean up the plazas - so he wants to create some incentives.
		Moscoe said he wants to create small business improvement areas in strip plazas, so that the properties could be cleaned up even if not all the owners agreed.
		And if that doesn't work - Moscoe is also considering creating a license for strip plazas, similar to the license that he is contemplating for landlords.

		Howard's best before date has passed many years ago, time to put him out to pasture.

		Had Moscoe listened first, he'd know a better plan would see landlords paying a simple licence fee that would cover an inspection.

		Moscoe’s supposed reason for trying to force the clubs to become smoke free is that they are allowing non-members to drink and smoke in their premises.
		Supposedly Moscoe decided to go after those who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice when a business owner in his riding was losing business.
		To threaten those who risked their lives and who have served this country so well is bad enough, but to do it the week before Remembrance Day is absolutely disgusting.
