Two city councillors are characterizing a code of conduct investigation as a waste of time and tax dollars
The Sault Ste. Marie Association of Ratepayers, a grassroots group claiming to protect taxpayer dollars, was accused Monday of making a 'frivolous and vexatious' complaint to the city's integrity commissioner that's expected to cost taxpayers $6,500.
After Hart presented his findings at Monday night's city council meeting, Ward 3 Coun. Angela Caputo and Ward 2's Luke Dufour were harshly critical of the investigation as a waste of time and tax dollars. Addressing such breaches promptly, efficiently and effectively is essential in maintaining and promoting accountability and good municipal governance.
Every taxpayer ought be able to file complaints simply and easily without paying for professional assistance.
