In 2002 after the scandals’ around the city of Toronto
and councils computer leasing deals an external contracts inquiry was
commissioned by Madam Justice Denise Bellamy.
Unfortunately, it did not deal with or consider the
ongoing practice by the city, council, the TTC and other cities taxpayer-funded
boards and agencies regarding these well hidden unsavoury practices that are
open to political insiders and straight-up corruption in my opinion.
Far too many of TTC and City approved the lease extension
sole-sourced and non-noncompetitive bid contracts continue to be supported by councillors
and then entered into by the city.
The Star and other mainstream media outlets have the audacity
to harass and bully Mayor Ford when he questions the appropriateness of such
deals even though Madam Justice Bellamy in her conclusions recommended that “The
Mayor should report to the public on major contracts or tenders the council
awarded or approved.”
