It would appear that Bloggers communicate with Bloggers from other towns and we know Town Staff have a support network of staff from other towns. You would think the lawyers for Mayor Grossi would have been in touch with the lawyers for former Mayor Morris to head off this freight train.

I think it's entirely possible lawyers for Mayor Grossi might have been in touch with lawyers for Aurora's former Mayor.
Lessons were obviously learned. Like having Georgina Council pass a Bylaw to approve financing for the Mayors personal law suit.
It's not a freight train you have to worry about.
Out of interest, when was Mr.. Maclean a Regional Councillor ? When did he become Director of Leisure Services ? When did he stop acting?
Does Georgina have a ward system? How many wards? D'you think ward councillors might be dependent on the Mayor's good will? Would each be more concerned about their own bailliewick than about the rest of the Municipality?
Did the Bylaw to approve financing the Mayor's personal law suit pass with a unanimous vote or a simple majority? A Bylaw can't be passed in secret.
Ours was a resolution passed behind closed doors delegating authority to decide on a process to a staff person. Some Councillors learned about the court action when campaigning at the doors during the election.
Why would Georgina Councillors be willing to carry that can for the Mayor?
Judging only from the surface, it would appear that the Mayor expected McLean to roll-over and was not prepared to follow through with his threat. Much will depend upon who and what McLean is, if he is comfortable in his own skin. It is a big risk to bully someone who knows where all the bodies are buried. But bullies seldom consider that they might not be the victors.
ReplyDeleteWhat Keswick has to realize is that the Morris non-case is now the last word on defamation and is heading for the law books as an example of doing everything wrong. Perhaps Aeird Berlis will neglect to mention to Grossi's lawyers that Morris is still dragging her baggage through the courts more than a year after she was turfed from office. And that the town of Aurora continues to pay legal fees for the culprits who instigated the defamation suit.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot point the finger at Keswick. Just offer sympathy and watch the show.
Thank you, Aurora,
ReplyDeleteThis sure beats rescuing drunken icefishermen.
