'I've done nothing wrong' Mayor Chirico calls for integrity commissioner to investigate

Better idea call the OPP in for a full audit and get this done. This is theft from the citizens of North Bay and I should point out theft over $5,000. So if I go into a local store and take $16,000 from their cash register and I get caught two years later all I do is pay it back and walk away? I bet not. Be a man and step down in shame.

No kidding every taxpayer in the City of North Bay should also be so very disappointed. This is just so unbelievable. North Bay & Proud.

Well first step is for council to not get involved in highway 11/17 safety concerns. They can’t even look after our roads safely. Potholes, more potholes, now a bridge on Lakeshore Dr. Hey I have an idea buy a ski hill. Oh never mind they did. Take care of the key concerns of us taxpayers.

It isn’t that simple you get caught repay and all goes away. Not a hope in heck. Council couldn’t even give the Mayor 90 days which of course isn’t even enough. I can’t even imagine sticking up for a guy that stole from the taxpayers. Mr. Mayor be a man and step down in shame. You are an embarrassment to your family, The City of North Bay, and mankind in general. Now we need a special meeting of Council and fire the CAO.

Well Gavin you sure hit the nail on the head with replacing one name isn’t the answer as so far we are up to three names and that is without a forensic audit. The Mayor, his admin (who submitted some of his expenses and the CAO who approved them all must be walked out of City Hall. Stealing from taxpayers plain and simple isn’t acceptable. You/us won’t change the culture with the group having no regard for transparency, accountability, and integrity. Faces and names need to go first.

Time to let it go…..Put housing up and take over the fields outback of it and put housing up there as well. This should have been done so many years ago. Money doesn’t grow on trees or in ice.

This is just a distraction and solves nothing. The Mayor will just hand in his expenses on a different card and the CAO will approve without questioning the expenses. History sure has proved this time and time again. The CAO & Mayor need to go with cause and we aren’t on the hook for a penny of severance.

Nope as I used that as an example with the North Bay Police Service. I said if I take $16,000 from a store and two years later I get caught….Hey officer here is a cheque for $16,000 I made a mistake I’ll just walk down the street. The officer responded no you won’’t. They didn’t take my name, number, address or complaint. I even said to the officer you will need to send this to another Police Service as the Mayor sits on the Police Board. They wanted nothing to do with a complaint against the Mayor.

I would suggest conflict of interest 100%. I think the 1.4 million price was determined by throwing darts at a dartboard. Sure looks like member municipalities were taken to the cleaners. Welcome to North Bay!

Enough there is no accountability so stop giving our money away. Welcome to life make the hill users pay if they don’t want to pay cut costs or close it down. Now that is simple.I just saved the taxpayers $100,000 and I’m a taxpayer here in North Bay as well.

Well I think I missed how much this is costing us. We keep putting money into a Lipstick on a Pig…..Just saying….

Yes!!!!…..Up next the Mayor then a real house cleaning in the Municipal Election this year. The house of cards that we know as The City of North Bay, Council, and some staff members now have cracks in it. This is just the beginning of what needs to take place in this city.

Well taxpayers can you say Money Pit? Make it user pay and it won’t last a year. Now that tells you something.

The biggest question is what will this cost the taxpayer for each trip? Government and their spending is out of control. It will take way to long to get to your destination.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about other than confirming this was a criminal act at over $5,000 and of course he was involved. Time to be gone with cause and take the Mayor with……OPP you are up next…..Do something!!!!

I sure would be happy to volunteer and could present the proper use of an expense report. I submitted these for over 40 years and was never questioned once on what was submitted. Oh that is also because I’m an honest person.
