"You should know correspondence to elected officials is entitled to privacy unless you indicate otherwise."
But, just a few weeks ago, didn't you post e-mail correspondence from Cultural Centre supporters without their permission?!

This is the last time I will say it.
When an e-mail is sent to the Mayor and Councillors, it is an official communication and is therefore public. The Mayor and Councillors represent the corporation.
A communication between the Mayor or a Councillor and a resident is private, unless the resident indicates otherwise.
I know you said "Once more and no more"... but are saying that the distiction between private and public is one is to less than the full council and the other is to full council?
ReplyDeleteWhere does it say that in the Municipal Act?
If I was to send an email or letter to everyone on council except one, it would be a private communication?
That may be your interpretation, but I think it is flawed.
