Mayoral candidate Rob Ford has been served with a $6-million-dollar lawsuit filed by the owner of an east-end pub.

George Foulidis threatened to sue last month if Ford didn’t apologize for suggesting the contract for The Boardwalk Pub was obtained through corruption.

The out-spoken councillor was served today, but has declined to comment.

The 11-page suit accuses Ford of exploiting the pub owner and his family for political gain, TheStar.com reported.
