When Is A Conflict Not A Conflict?

Grace Marsh had a plan for that site which I think she tried to explain the night Morris went ballistic in the Town Hall. Do we have any idea what it might have been?

Grace had an idea,not a plan that the property could be used for residential development.The day after that her resignation was submitted.

No-one, absolutely no-one, was allowed to have ideas under Mormac's administration.

It was therefore interesting to hear the latest week-end circuit gossip that I myself alone am entirely responsible for "the trouble" with the governance model of the Church Street School.

Ken Whitehurst made the unequivocal statement apparently.

Ken Whitehurst was on the Ad Hoc Heritage and Culture Committee with former Councillors Gaertner and Granger
and current but not former Councillor Ballard.

Mr. Whitehurst was the committee member who obtained paid employment as support to the committee of which he was a member,after the curator support person left for employment elsewhere.

The Mayor sought confirmation from the town's financial advisor at the time,that Mr. Whitehurst was not in a conflict of interest by being a committee member and paid advisor at the same time.

The Chief Financial Advisor hung his head and complied.

The previous Historical Society President, in a letter to The Auroran, affirmed Mr. Whitehurst' credentials for the job but didn't bother to specify why.

So Whitehurst,Ballard,Gaertner,Granger,the President of the Historical Society and the former Mayor,a lawyer
and member of the previous council were all involved when the deal went down.

But what was done entirely against the town's interest, according to current town solicitor,according to Mr. Whitehurst, was all my fault.

It was not the fault of the former Mayor surrounded and supported by acolytes.

Did I tell you Mr. Whitehurst was one of the former Mayor's campaign managers in repeated bids for election and re-election?
