City manager Joe Pennachetti: “It was a long four years”
City manager Joe Pennachetti: “It was a long four years”
—City manager Joe Pennachetti, who announced his retirement in August, speaking, during a joint press conference with mayor-elect John Tory, about life under Rob Ford. The purpose of the presser was to make public the fact that Pennachetti, a respected civil servant who kept city hall running (somewhat) smoothly during the Ford years, has agreed to stay on until the end of April, to help Tory shepherd his first budget through city council.
John Tory’s had more productive meetings than Ford has had in the last two years and he’s been on the job for a week. He won’t officially be the mayor for another month.
John Tory knows and actually demonstrates how to play well with others.
More of the same old, same old with Tory.
