"Council wants deeper dive into botched procurement leading to contract with U.S.-based PayIt" - new from @mahdishabibinia for @TorontoStar thestar.com/news/council-w…
my debut with @TheBreachMedia
As Israel ethnically cleanses Gaza, @FranceskAlbs replies, “I told you.” Interviewed by @DesmondCole, the UN expert says “I know Israel, under fog of war, uses the opportunity to forcibly displace Palestinians in order to take the land.” Full interview: youtu.be/tR9_cWkt-HA?si…
Councillor Fletcher has moved a motion on Item AU6.2 - Reinforcing the Importance of Openness, Fairness and Transparency in City Procurement: An Audit of the Procurement and Implementation of the PayIt Unsolicited Proposal: secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda… #tocouncil
The remainder of the Audit Committee recommendations re: PayIT carry via show of hands. PayIT Toronto will be shut down when current contract period ends on June 2, 2025.
Perks' confidential motion re: the PayIt deal FAILS on a tie, 11-11. Wow. There's a story here.
Fletcher's motion for the AG to do a deeper investigation into the behind-the-scenes of the PayIt deal, looking at email and phone records, CARRIES 21-0.
Perks says this report makes it clear the PayIt deal was unfair. "It was a massive failure in governance ... In a moment like this, when it's very clear there was a failure, we have to reassure the people of Toronto that we take this seriously."
Perks moves a motion with confidential instructions re: the PayIt deal. He says members of the public who expressed "deep concerns" about the deal were "browbeaten by Mayor Tory's Executive Committee." He says those concerns and questions have now proven to be correct.
ICYMI: Council asked the AG for a deeper dive into the city's botched procurement from a few years ago — that still has unanswered Qs & missing city records — which led it to sign a controversial contract with U.S. tech company PayIt. thestar.com/news/council-w… via @TorontoStar
