Vancouverites will have to wait until the new year to see the results of a task force charged with finding ways to tighten up the city’s budget.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim struck the Mayor’s Budget Task Force in April. It was charged with going through the city’s budget with a “fine-toothed comb.”

However, the project’s scope excludes spending by the Vancouver Police Department, Vancouver Park Board and Vancouver Public Library.

We need to rein in our budget, but discussing the largest item on our budget is OFF LIMITS FOR UH REASONS.
