I'm not really troubled by this -- Ford the candidate was making unrealistic promises -- Ford the Mayor is governing.
Still... .
From the Globe.ca
As a candidate, Rob Ford promised he'd save more than $67-million this year by reducing the city's work force by 3 per cent.
But as mayor, he's proposed increasing the work force by nearly 1 per cent or 447 positions in his debut budget.
New documents released on Monday reveal increases of 405 positions for capital works and 48 positions for day-to-day operations, minus a decrease of six positions for the solid waste, water and parking authorities

It is quite crazy the number of campaign promises that have either been directly broken or current actions run counter to his general "stop the gravy train" message. A significant number of his proposals such as wanting to add 100 new unwanted police officers or freezing property tax are net deficit increases.
I am curious after the Ford mandate destroying the combined left within SEVEN minutes, you would think you could give the benefit of the doubt on some of the smaller issues.
