Ethics Commission Calls for Benefits to be Reviewed and Codified

The Ethics Commission has ruled that Terry Cohen and Debbie Campbell did not violate the ethics clause of the Municipal Code. However, the ethics commission opined that a compensation review committee be appointed to review all benefits given to the Council and Mayor. As well, the benefits for Council and Mayor need to clearly stated in the Charter and Municipal Code.

This was the ultimate goal of the Great Green One's complaint. Now it is in the hands of the Mayor who must tackle this issue in a timely manner. We will see that the pressure remains for something to get done.
