No wonder he's always calling it...

...Toronto the Good...
Toronto taxpayers face a bill of almost $1 million for a goodbye gift to get Mayor David Miller and several retiring councillors out the City Hall door.

Miller’s $167,769.94 golden handshake, plus the severance pay for the four councillors who have announced they won’t run again in the fall and the three councillors running for mayor, will push the taxpayer-funded tab to more than $800,000.
The really alarming thing is... this will likely be the least costly piece of David Miller's legacy to Toronto.

Just something to think about while you're writing out that municipal tax cheque.
