Call it a Trifecta, a three leaf clover or whatever you will. Any way you put it, Mayor Rob Ford has now walked away from three attempts to either kick him out of office and otherwise penalize him. The latest win came today when a three-person committee voted 2-1 not to commence legal proceedings against the mayor for a three percent overrun on his election expenses in 2010. The audit had found Ford’s campaign went over its $1.3-million spending cap by $40,168. The audit also found the campaign contravened the Municipal Elections Act in several ways – from spending before the campaign formally started, to accepting corporate and cash contributions, to obtaining “generous credit terms” from the family business. 680 News
