Veteran Councillor Howard Moscoe To Retire
Sep 01, 2010 | admin | 0
After much speculation, 32-year veteran councillor Howard Moscoe has decided he will not run for re-election in October:
“A former chair of the Toronto Transit Commission, and fierce opponent to former mayor Mel Lastman, the 70-year-old recently earned a standing ovation from colleagues after council approved plans he had championed to overhaul the Lawrence Heights public housing complex.
Admittedly prone to “outrageous” comments, Mr. Moscoe said last week that if ally Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone dropped out of the mayoral race, he was ready to jump in and take on front runner Rob Ford. He also handed out bumper stickers in the spring emblazoned with “Stabbed in the back by Dalton McGuinty” after the province delayed $4-billion in transit funding.”
