London Ontario, Canada - January 18, 2012. Members of the Servcies Review Committee begins the long process of pouring over the `add/cut` list looking for opporunties to trim the city budget for 2012. Mayor Joe Fontana ran on a platform of a zero percent tax increase during his first term and job growth of 10,000 new jobs. The loss of jobs and reduction in tax revenues is making it increasingly difficult for the Mayor and council to meet this promise. Mark Spowart/for Metro.
