Later on Rizzo had voted at council to approve city contracts for Maragna's architectural firm. Rizzo admitted that he hadn't declared a conflict of interest because he didn't pay for the drawings. He said, "When I asked for an invoice, he refused to give it to me. I should have insisted. To repay him, I took him for lunch. I should have insisted on an invoice. Maybe it would cost me less." Rizzo wrote in a press release that "In hindsight, I see that what then seemed a small thing was an error in judgment."<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Premier Bob Rae took issue with Rizzo's response, however he didn't expel him. "It doesn't make it any easier, but bad things happen," Rae said. "The test, it seems to me, is how you respond to those things. Human beings are human beings. They make mistakes."<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On October 19, 1990, a further impropriety surfaced. In 1989 the <a href="/wiki/Ontario_Labour_Relations_Board" title="Ontario Labour Relations Board">Ontario Labour Relations Board</a> found that Rizzo had shifted a dozen workers from one company to a new one ( Muro Construction Ltd ) following the residential construction industry crisis in order to save their job and keep them working in spite of higher wages as result of joining a different union paying them higher benefits and higher dues. To stop the harassment of Local Union Rizzo agreed to pay $8,164 to pay dues for a certain period of time for the workers for which dues were paid to Local 586 for the same period of time. Rae was angered not only by the revelation but also Rizzo's response to the allegation. When confronted by reporters Rizzo had used the f.... word and the next day he resigned from the NDP caucus to sit as an independent member of the legislature. He said, "There was a settlement. My men were paid twice for their benefits through two unions. There's nothing wrong with that. In business, you have to face these problems once in a while," He went on to say that he expected to be back in the NDP caucus. He said, "In time, you will see I have never done anything wrong." He also accused Liberal rival, Chaviva Hošek, of being behind the accusation. "She was behind it during the campaign. This is a continuation of the campaign... you will see somebody tried to get me. Not only that, but they tried to embarrass the government and they would do the same to any member of this government to try to embarrass the government."<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In June 1992, Rizzo was allowed to return to the NDP caucus and, during the caucus meeting before the summer recess, Rizzo suggested to the Premier and to the Minister of Finance and the Minister Transportation to start the process for financing and construction of the Eglinton Subway that was eventually started in 1994 but later stopped by the Harris government.

Premier Rae allowed a free vote on the legislation. Rizzo said that he felt sorry about the outcome but said he followed his personal convictions on the vote.
