Spoken like a lady running for mayor

Karen Stintz

Spoken like a woman who could well be running for mayor. Karen Stintz  (Toronto Ward 16) took a few pokes at Mayor Ford tonight during a “political panel discussion” of murky purpose down in Little Italy. It was organized by George Smithrman, known to all, and who tonight had to insist he (at least) is not running for mayor. Ms Stintz, known around here as the Lady from Lawrence Park, (and TTC chair) said Ford required a  “stronger” agenda for the  second half of his term. Ms Stintz credited Ford with achieving much of his 2010 goals and demonstrating “real leadership” on fiscal responsibility. But she said he had also created what she called noisy issues that had been detrimental. Spoken like a lady running for mayor.
