John Sewell Endorses George Smitherman
The slow trickle of high profile-ish endorsements in the municipal election is picking up a bit of momentum. Today’s announcement: John Sewell, former mayor and author, is backing George Smitherman. In fact, Sewell’s accepted an offer to take up a position in Smitherman’s administration (should there be one); specifically, he’s agreed to lead a government reform panel that will examine how to make City Hall more responsive and effective.
