Sounds like Cemetery - I mean Century Village. I was down there looking at condos.
Press release also says Jones will get a severence payment under his employment agreement (amount not stated). Looks like the board did not have the courage to take on a fight about terminating Jones for cause - perhaps, amongst other reasons, because continuing scrutiny of his misconduct would cast continuing light on the 'abject failure' of the board to exercise any actual oversight.

One of the great orators of our time.
Nobody gets fired for cause any more. You eat the severance and move on. Jones could have been caught buck naked, blindingly drunk and pissing on the buzzer system of a TCHC apartment building and they would have announced that he was resigning for personal reasons. Well, either that or he was running for mayor.
This is also a far cry from the MM explanation from a few weeks ago that the OPP/TPS spat was a result of political interference. If what MM has heard this time around is true, I'm not sure that it is very good news for people hoping the TPS will be dropping the hammer on Ford.

I'm told that OPP/TPS public spat is engineered to embolden Ford, cause him to resume past behaviour.

why would they need that, if they had what they needed according to your late march posts?
@MetroManTO
Brazen2 is a multiple charge investigation. They want an airtight case on each charge before wrapping up.
@r4v4g3dsku11s 4h
Why the change in narrative from previous statement that TPS were ready to charge, but poli interference got in way?
@MetroManTO
Looks likely that TPS is playing the rumour mill to benefit investigation. Political interference still a factor.
TL;DR: Rob Ford: "With around six months until the election, I am concerned that we do not have an obvious candidate to replace TCHC Gene Jones, who was all that stood between this city and a repeat of the Danzig Street shootings. People get shot in summer."
Just... wow. How much of what he's saying does he believe? Does he believe his own BS now?
So essentially he's saying poor people are to blame for violence and fixing their plumbing will change all that?
Only those poor people not held in rhapsodic awe whilst grasping the almighty fridge magnet which has been personally placed in their grasping little (and otherwise idle) hands by the Great Oz, himself, or one of his hand-picked minions. Oh, look...something shiny...

Other than that, lots of gossip from the 80's about the Ford brother's... collection tactics. .
