Your morning news roundup for Thursday September 6th, 2007:

John Tory was back-paddling on remarks he made about public funding of faith-based schools.

The TTC will be spending $6.4million to beef up security. They'll be adding security cameras to all major subway station entrances (in addition to the plan to equip all vehicles and platforms with cameras).

City Councillor Michael Walker claims that budget and service cuts made by city hall are illegal unless approved by council, and has been seeking legal advice on the matter. According to Walker, Mayor Miller and City Manager Shirley Hoy don't have the authority to make such decisions.
