So what are they talking about?  The City has two budgets - an operating budget and a capital budget.  They build new things like new transit lines with the capital budget and they operate existing things with the operating budget.  All the previous political talk surrounding the road tolls was that the tolls were supposed to support new transit lines - which is the capital budget.  With this article, we are being told that the City doesn't have enough money to operate what they already have in place, never mind adding more operating costs with  new projects. So why can't the City operate what is already in place and has been in place for years?
