Mayoral candidate George Smitherman kicked off the “Discussions @ The Bistro” series at well-known dining establishment Bistro 990 by expanding details on his campaign platform:

He repeated his indictment of the city’s new operating budget, calling for an immediate hiring freeze for all but essential services personnel.”
