City councillor Brad Bradford is accusing Mayor Olivia Chow of choosing “politics over progress” following her decision to remove him as vice-chair of Toronto’s housing committee.
Coun. Brad Bradford had a lot to say after he was 'rescinded' as the Vice-Chair of the Planning and Housing Committee.
Chow formally announced a shuffle of several key city committees on Monday morning, including the appointment of Coun. Frances Nunziata as the vice-chair of the housing committee and the removal of Bradford from the committee entirely.In a statement posted on social media following the shuffle, Bradford called Chow’s “priorities” into question and accused her of making a “political decision.
“Instead of finding pragmatic solutions to the crisis, the mayor and her team are doubling down on their ideological commitment to the Public Builder model, which will just build more bureaucracy instead of building more housing,” Bradford said. Bradford, a former city planner, served as chair of the housing committee under former mayor John Tory.
