Resident pushes for names on Mayor Chirico meal receipts
41At this point, I personally am less shocked by the funds being spent, and even more appalled by the way this has been handled by almost everyone at a city and provincial level. The fact these accusations were made almost two years ago, and literally nothing has been done except to continuously prove the incompetence and entitlement of our council. What else have they buried beyond this example? What else don’t we know about? Corrupt doesn’t begin to define what north bay has been doing

38Thanks to Nicole Peltier for raising this issue and bringing it to the community’s attention. These shady practices by our mayor are not acceptable, yet he believes it’s his right to spend public money however he wants and claims he’s done nothing wrong because it’s his usual practice. This is wrong, and we need to keep monitoring this activity. Thanks again.

39Who can we contact to find out what is happening with the OPP investigation? In my opinion it is taken far too long. Imagine how the public would react if it took them months to investigate a bank robbery, assault, rape or any other investigations? Makes one wonder if our dishonorable mayor has someone high up within the OPP delaying the investigation and or their findings.I cannot for the life of me figure out how disclosing names of the people at the so called dinner meetings is in anyway a breach of privacy.

30ms peltier has a good point.. the public should br able to scrutinize the actions and activities of elected officials if it comes to the public purse.

Councillor Lowery introduces motion seeking answers from Cassellholme Board
25North Bay contributes 2.5 million to Cassellholme. Since the councilors who are there to oversee that the money is properly spent have been removed from the board for questioning the expenditures, it's certainly Council's duty to investigate.

26Also just because Giorno says chirico paid back funds a FOIA request should be made for the receipts PROVING chirico actually paid the funds back!! Yes I know receipts can be fudged but it’s a start and opens the doors up for even more actions/requests regarding the validity of said receipts…

7The motion won't pass because it oversteps and is just a campaign ploy. Narrow the motion to what is within councils authority and stop campaigning.

22The idea that the sort underhand stuff Chirico did is supposedly common in private enterprise, does not make the situation any better. I'm sure that some private sector companies do that sort of thing often, but that's no reason to copy bad behaviour. The impression I get is that some staff at city hall are still covering up the details. Let's try to get rid of corruption and dishonesty at city hall instead of making excuses for it.

21I love how it's come down to North Bay Citizens having to subsidize the eating habits of our elected officials. We are basically cutting their grocery bills. It won't end. The secrecy of City Hall is a Mystery Wrapped in an Enigma. Who controls whom? Who controls who gets the jobs as advertised? Who controls what contracts? Who controls what is released and what is redacted for citizens? Who is in charge of finding taxpayer misspent dollars? Nobody we know. It's all a pyramid. The OPP seems to be having a hard time revealing to North Bay Citizens what is going on in their criminal investigation into our Mayor Chirico... And, sadly, North Bay citizens suffer because of City Hall, and the most Secretive Council in Canada puts its Citizens through the wringer and back just to secure their own paychecks. Heaven forbid they remember who put them there, and who pays their checks. We do. We can also vote them out. En masse, in October.

Ford says he's considering filling in part of Lake Ontario to build a new Toronto convention centre
17There he goes again. He has ruined the lakefront with our money so that his developer buddies can cash in. He took out the Science Center under dubious reasoning and made a deal with a foreign company to put a spa in Ontario Place. Seriously?? That is not “for the People” as Ford claims. Nobody benefits but the developers.

Councillor Lowery introduces motion seeking answers from Cassellholme Board
18The motion will not see the light of day. Mendocino and the Mayor's group that make up the majority of the CasselHolme board do not to be questioned about their backroom plans to get the Cassell Arms assets. Case in point - when King & Mayne tried to question the Board at their last meeting they were voted off. Albeit the process was less stressful than being barred by 7 armed cops. Don't be surprised to see the cops at the next council meeting when this motion is presented.

17Because he paid back the funds for the dog food I guess that's why the dog's name was redacted.

Highway 11 N closed at Thibeault Hill
13Common sense isn't so common anymore. They closed the highway due to an accident in Hearst yes, but clearly it was also due to the fog. The highway was closed all the way to Nipigon. They wouldn't shut an entire highway down that far out from the accident in either direction for no reason.

Callander makes cuts to pass a tax rate under five per cent
17Always amazes me that any level of government is so pleased to boast keeping an annual tax increase below say 5%. When can anyone remember a guaranteed wage increase of 5% per year? Funny how that normalcy fails to make sense to any politician.
