Defending PEC Democracy. On July 19 thru 21st, the Ontario Municipal Board will hear the appeal made on the Council decision on Ward Boundaries.
WE NEED YOUR HELP to Defend Democratic Principles in how OUR Council is Elected!
PEC Councillors:
*Mislead the public by presenting Ward options that did not meet the requirements set out in law.
*Failed to follow their own process and made a decision that was the least threat to their own interests.
*When given the opportunity to correct their mistake they budgeted 120K to defend the indefensible.
*Made it as costly as possible to hold them to account by requiring that Municipal Staff be issued Summons and be paid to appear to speak to their own documents and reports.
All the money raised will go to pay for Legal expenses, Municipal Staff to appear at the hearing regarding their reports (we are forced to pay them to attend), and to pay for an Expert in this field. No one other than those listed above will receive any of these funds.
Our Expert will testify on how the Council failed to do its job and how they have violated the Constitutional and Case Law decisions that they should have followed.
Our hope is that the OMB will not only change the Ward Boundaries and with any luck reduce the size of Council as well.
Pierre Klein, of Cherry Valley, is heading up this OMB Appeal and is responsible for this campaign.
