The city of Toronto says it is “not aware” of residents being given preferential treatment regarding bylaw enforcement in the Scarborough-Agincourt ward, despite claims made by the ward’s councillor in a secretly made recording. “Colourful language aside, I trust people understand that a politician will at times speak politically,” Karygiannis told the Star last week. City spokesperson Brad Ross told the Star that all complaints about suspected bylaw infractions are investigated and that they “primarily” come through the city’s 311 hotline for residents. Ross said the city is “not aware” of residents being given preferential treatment in Karygiannis’s ward. “City councillors serve every resident in the ward they represent, not only those who voted for them or donated to their election campaign,” said Coun.
