TORONTO – Doug Ford’s attendance record as city councillor for Etobicoke North is the third poorest this term, according to a report by the Toronto Star.
The wannabe mayor has taken over the reigns of Rob Ford’s campaign following a sudden illness but city hall numbers show he has missed 53 per cent of the votes taken at council for 2014.
The newspaper said only Giorgio Mammoliti (49 per cent) and Ron Moeser (39 per cent) had worst records, however both were dealing with health issues for some duration of the term.
On the other hand, Rob only missed 23 per cent of the votes in 2014.
