The problem is, the city never wanted to annex the suburbs… that was purely a suburban political move to get the city under the conservative banner. You can even see that in Ford and Harper’s statements. So yes, you ARE two different areas made into one, but that was by the conservative group seeing the money and going for it.
Besides, now, the city will be obligated to pay for Rob Ford to fight his criminal and civil cases, so I don’t know how much money you save here.
