Raptors Land Basketball Star Rudy Gay In Blockbuster Trade
On Wednesday, the general manager of the Toronto Raptors basketball team took care of some unfinished business.
Bryan Colangelo made a huge trade, to get superstar player Rudy Gay.
It all started back in 2006. At that time, Colangelo held the “number-one overall draft pick.” That meant he could choose any eligible player and add them to his team.
He travelled around the world, looking for the perfect person to add to the Raptors.
Rob Ford Wins His Legal Case, Remains As Toronto’s Mayor
Rob Ford has won his appeal and will remain as Toronto’s mayor.
Last November, Ford was removed from office – in other words, told by a judge that he could no longer be mayor.
The judge said Ford broke a “conflict of interest” law after he voted on an issue that he, himself was involved in. The judge said Ford must step down as mayor.
However, Ford appealed the judge’s decision. That means he asked the court to look over the case and reverse the decision.
Three judges from the Ontario Divisional Court did just that. They ruled that Ford never broke the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act.
