What difference has this Council made in the term.
One comes immediately to mind; the current Council made it impossible for this or any future Mayor or group of followers to retain legal counsel and incur legal costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a political device,
Not the business of the corporation
It had never before been necessary to have a written policy to that effect.
When it happened here, it wasn't happening in any other municipality in the Region
I heard of one situation where a Mayor had obtained services from a lawyer. His Council called him to a meeting and warned him if he ever did it again, he would pay the bill himself.
He never did it again.
Because of a contrived resolution full disclosure of expenditure was refused though I do not doubt invoices are still on record in the town's legal department.
I have written and removed several paragraphs relevant to this issue.
Subject to legal advice received previously not to speak of matters before the court.
It has been difficult.
And yes, they are before the court.
The Fall Session of the Court begins on November 12th.
A Chief Justice has accorded priority to the case.
It has been four years arriving at this point.

It's likely best that you not write about it on the Blog.
Someone will find threads of conspiracy in an innocuous sentence,
"And yes, they are before the court."
Thanks for the confirmation. What was that someone said about "hogwash?"
Another question in an attempt to divert you from your current topic :
Why is there no council meeting this week ? It can't be because of Hallowe'en. Could it be so they get a longer break at Xmas ? It's not as if there are no hot potatoes waiting to be managed.
Yeah, I know that was 2 questions.
