Ever Heard of Direct Deposit?

The Star is reporting that Mayor David Miller was given a giant cheque yesterday. They say:

Nothing grabs attention quite like the sight of a tall, blond mayor stalking the city’s streets and subway system carrying a giant cheque for $24.45 million.

We agree. We only wish we could have done a photo essay of Mayor Miller and his Megabucks cheque. We thought the era of jumbo checks had come and gone, but it’s good to see that City Hall is kindling the flames of dorky photo-opage. If they’d only gotten Mayor Boom Boom a suit with shoulder pads then it could have been an homage to 80s excess.

    Nice website, just a shame that as a Canadian site you can’t see your way to spelling “Canadian!”
    It is interesting that US organizations take more care about using correct Canadian spelling in Canada than do Canadian organizations or companies.

    i agree this photo op looks quite pathetic. he needs to start acting like a big city mayor not a dorky panhandler in a blue corporate suit. we have plenty of those.

    there’s nothing photo-op about it… miller got the cheque. miller rides the subway. thus, miller riding the subway with the cheque. notice only one smart photographer got on the subway to get this photo. for an example of a photo op, look at photos on foxnews of US soliders with children in new orleans. and joe kriger drinks his own pee.

    MDM and others on council are not paying attention to the $236 million backlog in road repairs ($80 million alone on the Gardiner Expy.). It would “only be fair” that some of the gas be returned to motorists.
    The fact that we have this backlog at the city is unacceptable. Research has shown people are not getting out of their cars as gas prices rise because cars are “an indispensable part” of their lives.
