Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Grossi's Mountain":
As of Jan 26th, calls to Georgina's Town Hall were told that Mr. McLean was still an employee.
******************
An even more intriguing situation presents.
I read the links. I saw reference to disability. Also to Mr. Mclean defending his staff from blame by Mayor Grossi and Councillors for cost over-runs and design flaws in Grossi's Mountain.
The "mountain" is man-made. Created by fill placed in a corner of the property by invitation of the Mayor. I am not a reporter. I am going by what I have read. I don't have to check my sources. While the story might seem crazy to any reasonable person, it's entirely plausible to me on the basis of my personal experience
Georgina is part of the northern-six municipal pact. We jointly obtained an indemnification policy at a favourable price together.
Staff and Councillors in Aurora are indemnified against legal action for decisions undertaken in the course of their duties. .
Mr. Mclean could be eligible for a legal defense from the town's policy against suit by the Town's Mayor.
I wonder if he knows.
I didn't a few years ago when the deadly duo brought George Rust D'Eye in to advise what could be done about moi. They identified a leak of information from a closed meeting which should have been reported out three months previously and to this day, never was.
A resident informed me the town would have indemnification in place, if legal action was taken against me for fulfilling my elected responsibilities.
So, I asked about that. In all the years I had been a councillor the question had never been raised.
But those who must have known , denied all knowledge of indemnification
Some time later I inquired again. Council learned they would indeed be indemnified if sued while performing their duties as elected representatives.
At the same time, we were informed no indemnification exists to allow staff or council to litigate against another. We received a written report to that effect.
Now we know, Georgina Council had to pass a bylaw to allow the Mayor's legal costs to be paid straight out of taxpayers' pocket.
Wouldn't that just take the cake if Mr. Mclean's defence was covered by town insurance while the Mayor's is being paid straight out of the treasury.
A couple of posts back, I told you how the community in East Gwillimbury filled the Council chamber at a meeting and said;
Enough of this damned nonsense, Mayor Young and Councillor Johnstone, get back into your seats and get on with the job.
I'm paraphrasing but I was there and that essentially is what happened. The issue was a Code of Conduct complaint against the Mayor and Councillor Johnstone, filed by the Chief Administrative Officer with Mr. George Rust D'Eye , on hand to advise Council.
It remains to be seen if the people of Georgina will be more docile than the people of East Gwillimbury
in the face of nincompoopery in the first order and gross abuse of public resources.

passing a by-law, in a closed setting is in violation of the municipal act
