Growing animosity of Ford in the city eventually seemed to culimate to people going after him about everything. Seems they stuck him with this...

Not from the area, but I really don't find it overly suprising.

Too bad a politician can't be ousted for being a jerk.

Seems like every few months there has been a new story about his (or a family member's) rampant dumbassery. Why did his wealthy ass not just repay the $3000 dollars apologize and move on?

That said, I am somewhat surprised that the Judge went with tossing him.

I'm assuming it was a "Paying the amount admits wrong doing". Which I bet his lawyer told him not to do. I'm just speculating...

Apparently ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away... go figure (sarcasm).

No, it didn't amount to squat (certainly not guilt) if he repaid it.

If he said 'oops, my mistake, didn't mean to do anything improper' and handed over the cash then it would have died then and there. Hell, even if he had just taken a walk when ever the issue came up in city council he would have been fine.

I'm actually one of the few who don't mind the guy. I don't like him personally and I think he's completely unprofessional and lacks judgement, but it's a tough job and he was one of the few who had the stones to make the tough decisions necessary even if it made him unpopular.
