The City's gain ...

Michael Bryant, a top contender to eventually succeed Premier Dalton McGuinty as Liberal leader, is quitting politics, the Toronto Star has learned.

Bryant, 43, who is also MPP for the riding of St. Paul's, is leaving to become CEO of the new Invest Toronto corporation chaired by Mayor David Miller.

City sources say Miller is delighted by his hiring coup.

Bryant is expected to remain in cabinet until the Legislature rises on June 4. International Trade Minister Sandra Pupatello will then likely assume his duties.
