Many Good Reasons: Mayor Of Toronto

Doing The Business Dept: There are many good reasons to elect Joe Pantalone the next mayor of Toronto. Admittedly, there are seemingly insurmountable factors working against the deputy mayor, and these might prevail on Oct. 25. But, for today, let s consider the reasons to vote Joe, according to The Star. Whether the civic leader was Metro chair Alan Tonks Liberal , Mel Lastman Conservative or Miller NDP , Pantalone has managed to wiggle his way inside the power tent and first in a series. First is experience. Joe knows city hall. For three decades that s been his workplace, negotiating, proposing, drafting, compromising, doing the business of running a great metropolitan region. The last seven years he s been David Miller s deputy, a privilege that has given him insights into the power dynamics at play. As reported in the news.
