From the article:

“It’s normal for government employees to receive severance if they’re fired. But Amato and Truesdell got payouts from the government despite quitting, making their cases unusual, according to three sources who've worked, or work, in ministers' offices, including one who shared a copy of their own contract.”

In 2022, Ryan Amato was hired - NOT by Housing MPP Steve Clark - but directly by the Premier's Office to be Clark’s chief-of-staff. (MPP Clark’s daughter was hired as Premier #DougFord’s chief-of-staff at the same time)
Amato was Transport Min. Caroline Mulroney’s chief-of-staff when developers were buying up land where Hwy 413 is slated to be built.
Amato's father is linked to OPP commissioner Thomas Carrique & worked in the organized crime unit for York Regional Police.
