Garbage Becoming Election Issue, 11 Drug Cops In Trouble, Yet Another Pitfield Gaffe

Jane Pitfield should send a thank you card to Royson James' office. The Star columnist must've hit a nerve with the mayor's office with yesterday's column.

Jane Pitfield's campaign is capitalizing on this mistake.

The fire department is estimating that yesterday's huge warehouse fire at Dupont and Dovercourt caused about $750,000 worth of damage. Sadly many of the things lost in the fire, like artwork, were irreplaceable.
