In order to understand the arrogance, one has to know the history of this clown. He is one of four children from a very rich family whose father was in politics as well and quite well known in the area and prior to being elected mayor, Rob was a local councillor who appealed to the masses originally because he came across, especially to the large volume of immigrants, as just "one of the boys". Three out of the four offspring(obviously, him as well) have had drug and substance abuse problems in their lives. It was also quite well known that while in high school Rob was a drug dealer along with himself and his brother being a pair of the school bullies, so none of this really comes as a surprise. Intimidation and ridicule in his office now coming out from ex-staffers just adds to the character that he already was.

It is the old adage "a leopard never changes its spots".
Once a punk always a punk, he just happens to come from a "well-to-do" family who have protected him along the way.
The screws now are, however, tightening on him and something will happen soon.
