| Jaye Robinson |
Mayor Ford has removed Jaye Robinson (Ward 25 Don Valley West) from City Executive Committee. Ms. Robinson, a popular centrist had been the chair of the Community Development and Recreation Committee. Within recent days she has said Mr. Ford should take a leave of absence to deal with whatever it is that is troubling him. Her once firm relationship with the mayor has frayed over a number of months and was particularly damaged by the Toronto Star story saying he was seen on video smoking crack cocaine. Tonight the Star focused almost entirely on the absence of women on the Executive Committee now that Ms. Robinson is gone. Jaye Robinson will be replaced by Anthony Perruzza (Ward 8, York West) on the executive. He has NDP connections. Ford also downgraded the position of Paul Ainslie (Ward 43 Scarborough East).
