Use your Vito power

A new Lehmann’s term, caught by my daughter in a community forum.

How will permitting within the corridor work with the City of Hamiltons existing permitting process? Will Metrolinx have the ability to “Vito” a project even if the city permits it?

Only if they know how to make an offer that the city can’t refuse, I’d say. About 10 hits where capitalized Vito or “Vito” is used.
