Councillor Brad Bradford criticizes Mayor Olivia Chow's decision to remove him from the Toronto housing committee and appoint Councillor Frances Nunziata as vice-chair. Bradford accuses Chow of prioritizing politics over practical solutions to the housing crisis.
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 Brad Bradford had a lot to say after he was 'rescinded' as the Vice-Chair of the Planning and Housing Committee.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.“The halfway point in any administrationis a great chance to take stock, and focus on priorities, including building more homes, feeding more kids and getting Toronto moving,” Mayor Chow said in a statement to CTV News Toronto.
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.”The Beaches-East York councillor went on to say that despite their differences, he had believed that he and Chow were at least aligned about housing but now believes that she is choosing “politics over progress on the housing file.”
