Rob Ford drops a dope beat

[finji]

I can see how a shit load of people like, or did like, him. Can you imagine UK politicians going to something like that, genuinely having a laugh without being a dickhead?

no

how is he as a mayor tho?

For the first time in decades the city is generating a surplus, new subways are being built, taxes are lower or frozen in most areas. Eliminated 2 weird annoying taxes completely and the property tax rates have only increased by 1.75% when the projected increase was close to 3 or 4% initially to balance budget all while improving services to the city and saving the city just over 60 million dollars by privatizing garbage collection.

He is also one of the few mayors to not steal public money from the city ever so far.

***edit: He apparently has saved the city in total over a billion dollars

According to him, the savings are as follows:

$200-million from cancelling the vehicle-registration tax.
$6.4-million from cutting expense budgets of city councillors and the mayor’s office.
$78-million from contracting out garbage collection west of Yonge Street.
$606-million from various “efficiencies” ($57-million in the 2011 budget, $327-million in 2012 and $222-million in 2013).
$89-million from a streamlined labour contract with city employees.
$24-million from higher user fees.

Although he is a notorious drunk with a drug problem.. but in reality most people can relate to guy that likes his beer and parties tbh which is why I anticipate him doing well in the upcoming election.
