bleeding heart Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 Yes, my mistake. And yes, it is a different thing. I get it, though. I actually read it as "personal" too, but then just happened to look back up. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington.

bleeding heart Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 Different things, sure. And one could make a much better argument for personal issues being off limits than personnel issues. When we're talking taxpayer money, personnel issues are very much our business. Yes, sure. Honestly, I can't imagine where he thinks he is going with this kind of stuff. He's an odd duck.

They shouldnt , it s not like he has been drunk in public on official business, arguing incoherently and ignorantly about transit, or telling the city what happens in his office is no ones business, going AWOL for stretches.

Mighty AC Posted September 26, 2013 Report Posted September 26, 2013 Without crack he is just an incompetent ass. With it he has a disease and could seek sympathy. Tommy boy should play the crack card instead of covering it up.

Black Dog Posted September 27, 2013 Report Posted September 27, 2013 Mayor "livid" over $75K chair purchase Toronto City Hall spending almost $75,000 on chairs doesn't sit well with Mayor Rob Ford. As the Toronto Sun reported exclusively, the City of Toronto shelled out $74,850 to buy 30 chairs for City Hall's members' lounge. An "absolutely livid" Ford told Newstalk 1010 Friday to express his disappointment at the sky-high cost. "I just got off the phone from Joe Pennachetti, who is our city manager, and I told him this is unacceptable," Ford said. "Unfortunately, someone is going to have to pay the price for this. If we have to dismiss someone because of their poor purchasing abilities, that's what we're going to do." Ford, you'll recall, employs his former high school football coach and pays him $130,000 a year to check e-mails. "I can assure you one thing, I watch every dime, every day - I've been doing it for 13 years, as a councillor for 10 and three as mayor. Ford has not come into work on a Friday since June 21. While the money is a drop in the city's overall budget bucket, Ford said it's a big deal to him. "When you're a penny-pincher and you're a fighter for the taxpayers you understand this money," he said. Under the Ford-championed Scarbourough subway plan, the city will have to eat $85 million in sunk costs related to work already done on the LRT plan. Quote

I guess maybe the rest of council shouldn't have flip-flopped on it. Can't blame Ford that council and other levels of government are paralyzed on this issue. He's been consistent on his views all along. How much in sunk costs were associated into David Miller canceling the Island Airport Bridge? Regardless paying $75,000 for 30 chairs are a tangible reason why people hate the government. GO TO IKEA YOU MONEY WASTERS!!!!! Edited September 27, 2013 by Boges Quote

I dunno if being consistent is a virtue when your position never made any sense to begin with. Regardless paying $75,000 for 30 chairs are a tangible reason why people hate the government. GO TO IKEA YOU MONEY WASTERS!!!!! Correction: paying $75,000 for 30 chairs is a tangible reason why stupid people hate the government. The original chairs these replicas replaced cost $7,641 a pop. My understanding is the city's architectural guidelines require new furnishings fit with the rest of city hall. I don't really care, it's a pittance by anyone normal person's standards. Unless we want city hall to look as shabby as the chief magistrate. Edited September 27, 2013 by Black Dog Quote

It's how he thinks he got elected. It's everyone else who appear as flip-floppers. And now that the Feds are agreeing to chip in it's believed that Ford has Scarberia locked up for the next election.
