  Giorgio Mammoliti Information
George or Giorgio Mammoliti (born September 20, 1961) is a city councillor in Toronto, Canada, representing one of the two York West wards.
The NDP under Bob Rae won an unexpected majority government in the 1990 campaign, and Mammoliti was appointed as parliamentary assistant to the minister responsible for a provincial anti-drug strategy on October 1, 1990.
Mammoliti, along with some other Members of Provincial Parliament, was criticized for billing the government thousands of dollars to travel from his riding to the legislature, despite the fact that he lived fairly close to the parliament buildings.

 Ward 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Mammoliti is best known as the biggest spender on council and fellow councillors are often horrified at his loudmouth comments during debates.
Mammoliti has made his mark on the current council by leading the 'Keep the Chief' campaign to renew Police Chief Julian Fantino's contract, which many cynically saw as an attempt to boost his own profile.
Giorgio Mammoliti is on the Community Services Committee and the Toronto Community Housing Corporation Board.

 A Situation Gone Potty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Mammoliti -- who grew up in the neighbourhood and has been a councillor for the area for 17 years -- organized a meeting for residents Saturday night, which included public health and other officials.
Mammoliti pledged to start a petition urging the residents be given a break on their rent for the grief they have been put through, an idea that was loudly applauded by the dozens of tenants who gathered in the lobby yesterday.
Many said they had complained to property management for months about leaks in their apartments and regular power outages, but they were "ignored." "Tenants knew what was going on," said Lilian, a mother of three.

 NOW: Mayor's loyal opposition, Oct 7 - 13, 2004
Perhaps Mammoliti is unaware that the position Mukherjee is filling came open when lawyer Alan Heisey quit the board because he could no longer tolerate all the abuse members are subjected to if they try to provide legitimate civilian oversight to the local police force.
Yet Mammoliti, who's been leading the losing battle to get the board to reconsider its decision not to extend Chief Julian Fantino's contract when it expires in March, has no qualms about accusing Miller of "dirty deals and shady business" because someone Mammoliti doesn't like got an appointment very few people were even interested in.
Mammoliti is talking about, quite frankly," said one of the two female cops in BC with qualifications for the Toronto chief's job.

 Why Toronto will never impose a curfew on youth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
According to the Ward 7 councillor, enforcing the curfew by fining parents whose children are out at night unsupervised will put the responsibility for children back where it belongs — with the parents.
These political elites think that the parents who live in these communities, mainly poor immigrant families are just not bright enough to look after their own children; so the government has to do it for them.
Giorgio Mammoliti’s idea of a curfew for children will be scoffed at and Mammoliti himself will be laughed at for trying to go back in time to the days of Beaver Cleaver.

 NOW Magazine Online Edition: Oct 7 - 13, 2004
Maybe one of Giorgio Mammoliti's right-wing council buddies should drag the York West ward rep to a shrink and find out what's at the root of his increasingly bizarre behaviour.
The most ludicrous aspect of Mammoliti's charge is his suggestion that someone in his or her right mind would actually cough up cash to get a spot on the TPSB.
Oh, that Mammoliti had been so quick to voice his outrage back when Melvin Douglas Lastman was stacking the deck at City Hall and making Jungle Giorgio zoo board chair, with a sizable budget for travel abroad.

Giorgio Mammoliti rose to take a swipe at his colleagues Doug Holyday and Rob Ford.
The poor dear was upset, evidently, with the frugal duo for consistently forcing council to debate not-so-affordable housing, speed humps and other wacky leftist projects that involve large sums of taxpayer monies.
Mammoliti seemed to think if a speaker presided over council proceedings -- one of the proposed changes under the new city governance plan -- that would "expedite" things.

Mammoliti wants the city of Toronto to require nightclubs to install metal detectors or other similar security measures as a condition to these clubs obtaining the necessary licenses to operate.
Recent hijackings, such as those carried out by the September 11, 2001 terrorists, happened not because guns and knives were not kept off airplanes but because the hijackers used weapons that were not considered risks to security screeners in the pre 9/11 world.

Giorgio Mammoliti has said two reliable sources have told him that Toronto Mayor David Miller has handpicked a woman from Vancouver to replace outgoing Chief Julian Fantino.
Mammoliti was unavailable to speak to the Courier Thursday and Friday, but his executive assistant Mariana Direzze said the councillor stands by his remarks to the Toronto media.

Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, who represents the area where the homes are being built, defended the naming decision, saying it has the support of local community representatives.
Mammoliti said naming streets after Sgro and Marchi falls into the city's category of "exceptional circumstances," arguing they're "builders" who have done much to help immigrants in the area.
Marchi says he informed Mammoliti that if there was any "community problem" arising from the street sign issue, the councillor was to withdraw his name.

 Eye Weekly - Editorial - 11.03.05   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Panic can lead to some pretty stupid thinking, a phenomenon that reared its head at City Hall last week in the form of Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti's proposal to impose a curfew on people 16 and under (see "It takes a city...").
As the city's 63rd and 64th homicides of the year were announced on the weekend preceding the debate, Mammoliti's tone indicates that he feels that doing anything is better than doing nothing, and since he didn't have any good ideas, he took the one lame-brained plan he did have and charged forward with it.
It's the same impulse that led to Councillor Michael Thompson's suggestion this summer (which he eventually withdrew) that police should be allowed to stop and search fl men at random; the same impulse that leads to calls for the suspension of civil liberties in the wake of terrorist attacks.

 Toronto Sun Columnist: Sue-Ann Levy - Selective transparency
Mammoliti hopes the mayor will allow the Fantino issue to be debated and reconsidered in the same way as the Island Airport deal.
Councillors like Rob Ford, David Shiner and Mammoliti tried to open up the issue, but were quickly shut down by Miller, who refused to allow debate, even in camera.
Mammoliti says even if Fantino's contract is not reconsidered he hopes the mayor, Filion and McConnell have learned "some valuable lessons on transparency."

Such signs are prohibited until next Thursday, but city bylaw enforcers say they can't do anything because, technically, the sign doesn't say "elect" or "re-elect" so it can be argued it is not a campaign sign.
