McCallion endorsed Dofo during the election campaign. Looks like he just paid her back to the tune of $150k per year.

My thoughts exactly.

Good on Hazel though, she is not letting any moss grow on herself.

Earlier on, she had endorsed Wynne. So, what is your point? Do you think that she is trying to be an opportunist/conformist in her old age? I think not. Alll her political life, she has striven to serve her people to the best of he abilities.

She doesn't appear to be tied to any partisan principles, and is not afraid to speak her mind. She also appears to be politically open-minded, a fresh breath of air in this society.

Actually, she kind of endorsed both of the leading candidates. As it should be for a municipal politician. I don't know how senile she is, but she does have a few years of experience on the top level of the municipal management. A $150k is drop in the bucket for that kind of expertise. We pay that to our foremen for crying out loud.

Nothing like the new ideas of a 97 year old to get that Ford team working.
