Frank Di Giorgio is city budget chief

Frank Di Giorgio is Toronto’s new budget chief and it appears that he is a man of many parts. And we suppose that it’s picky to  laugh at his mixed metaphors because he is a smart guy (Mathematics McMaster and Western Business) and a family man, married to “Mary” for 15 years with two kids. He did provide entertainment however if you know that  a question like “Has the gravy train been stopped?” should not be answered:  “I think there is little low-hanging fruit at this time.”   But at a distance at least, you have got to like him. He’s not a cut, cut, cut maniac. He wants to find ways to keep down costs by bringing in new revenues. Here’s a bit of his bio as posted on the Toronto site: A graduate of McMaster University in Mathematics and the University of Western Ontario Business School, he has a diversified background which includes teaching, coaching, business management and public life. In the business world, Councillor Di Giorgio was a marketing and seminar leader in pension plans and tax planning and later established his own small business. As a teacher and a coach, Frank was an Assistant Head of Mathematics, and Associate of the College of Education and guided three championship football teams before pursuing postgraduate training in business administration.
