I heard something yesterday that completely astounded me. Actually, I heard two stories but one of them isn't mine to tell...yet.
The first one came from two Aurora citizens. It's second hand but from a reliable source. If it's not my job to keep you posted, I don't know what is.
A couple went to a regional Council meeting. They observed interaction between the Mayor, sole Regional representative from the Town of Aurora and an individual in the spectator area.
The Mayor was clearly seeking direction and receiving it during Council debate. The person providing it stayed throughout the entire meeting. He left with the Mayor, carrying the agendas and files.
The Aurora citizens concluded the person was the Mayor's administrative assistant.
Subsequently, they attended an Aurora Council meeting.
They were astonished to observe , the person in attendance at the entire regional meeting, clearly providing support to the town's Mayor and sole Regional representative was the Town's Chief Administrative Officer.
We have already heard of the Mayor, accompanied by the Chief Administrative Officer, being on the street near the Wellington /Yonge Intersection, soliciting support and attendance from passers- by for meetings of the much ballyhooed Promenade Study.
We were already of the opinion , Regional Reports submitted to Council as from The Mayor, have in fact been written by the Chief Administrative Officer and not the Mayor, the Town's sole representative at the Regional Council.
It is not much of a stretch to accept the citizen's account of what they saw.
It is no less amazing for all that.

Seems to me the mayor is using her resources well. Looks good to me.
What's the problem?
So did Edgar Bergan through Charlie McCarthy....
Never could go it alone Ev , No one to blame then ,you know the old story, Is'nt that right Mr Claaaark, ?????
"Seems to me the mayor is using her resources well."
That's the problem, isn't it? They aren't hers to use, as she alone sees fit.
The Town's CAO isn't employed to be Phyllis' caddy at the Region. His taxpayer-paid post is at the Town Hall, not 'holding the hand' of an obviously out-of-her-depth Morris.
"The Town's CAO isn't employed to be Phyllis' caddy at the Region."
No, but he is employed to give the Mayor advice. You don't know what that meeting was. It is quite possible the CAO needed to be there to make sure the Mayor was getting his advice in a timely mannor.
God there is a lot of mud slinging on this site and Bill Hogg's site.

So, we all know she has a history of having her BlackBerry with her at the table to receive instructions.
Phoning and texting; marvelous innovations.
p.s. "mud slinging" to you = any criticism of Phyllis Morris
"God there is a lot of mud slinging on this site and Bill Hogg's site".
Not really, it’s just that most people on this site have far more insight as to what is actually happening. Believe it or not the Ostrich is still alive and well in Aurora and its head is buried deep in the same quick sand with the rest of the GOS
