| Jaye Robinson (Ward 25) |
The city’s executive committee voted 9 to 4 in favour of allowing a casino to operate downtown. As described by reporter Katie Simpson, the split is being called a “weak vote” because the committee normally votes solidly with the mayor. Jaye Robinson (Ward 25) was a notable opponent. The full break down: Opposed, Jaye Robinson, Peter Milczyn, Denzil Minnan-wong and Paul Ainslie. In favour, Mayor Rob Ford, Michael Thompson, David Shiner, Cesar Palacio, Doug Holyday, Norm Kelly, Frank Di Giorgio, Vincent Crisanti and Gary Crawford. The matter will now go to full council where it is believed to face considerable opposition.
