Karygiannis hoofed from office (again) for $26,000 dinner

Councillor Jim Karygiannis has been removed from office a second time for overspending public money to contest and celebrate his election victory in 2018. This time it was the Ontario Court of Appeal that overturned a lower court decision that had re-instated the Ward 22 member. Justices were particularly offended by a dinner that featured wine, pasta, racks of lamb and cake for some 50 people. The nearly $26,000 bill was sent to the taxpayers. City of Toronto release
