Is Ford at the meeting?

He isn't, so he must really be sick...

Not only is Ford missing, but so is Don Peat. I don't believe he was live-tweeting last month's meetings either. I wonder what happened.

 

[riffraff]

Doesn't seem to be--but Mammo is more than up to filling in the stupid quotient for the day.

And now it's time for annual Coun. Mammoliti totally unfunded property tax freeze motion.

Was it him the Citizen Spectators were hollering at/booing when Nunziata called the break for lunch right after he spoke?

I thought OCAP was having their protest - probably to no one in particular?

I saw one guy actually run onto the council floor towards the mayor. I've never seen that before. It looked like he threw something onto his desk while running past Tory with security chasing him.

In ongoing city contract negotiations: city only provides trunks for female pool lifeguards... this sounds like a Ford-era budget cut!

Sticking point: both male and female lifeguards are provided swim shorts, but the women don't get tops. The union thinks they should.

Doug's solution would be to ban female lifeguards from wearing tops.

Jimmy K introduces a motion to raid the money from the Scarborough subway levy to spend it on unspecified transit improvements in his ward.

Cllr Mammoliti motion for 0 per cent tax increase in 2016 budget fails 1-41 ("Where's Rob Ford?" yells Mammoliti)

This all seems more civil without him present.

Is there any way to find out if he has put holds on anything?

Yes, look at the online agenda website but in this Council there are no holds as it is the Budget meeting.

My thoughts and prayers go out tonight to the family and friends of Graeme McEachern, former Rob and Doug Ford staffer #RIP #TOpoli

He apparently committed suicide...

 

[kbdid]

This just came across my FB feed from someone who's a group I'm in called Paul Bell (?). Suicide?

 

[Videodrome]

Paul Bell is one of those Ford Nation types. He ran for a council seat and lost.

That's terrible...
