As with politicians of all stripes they rely on the public’s short memory.

At the Rebound all candidates meeting on Wednesday I attempted to revive the Dr. Arra fiasco of two years ago. The response to my asking if the new council would instigate an investigation/enquiry into the incident was met with a resounding non answer.

Dr. Arra, head of the Health Unit received over a million dollars in bonuses for the years combined of 2020  and 2021. We await to know of his compensation for the current year. His remarks at a meeting with council, March 22nd. 2021, attacking one particular member, went uncensured.

Over a million of taxpayers dollars to one man while we have people sleeping on our streets. This is a despicable reflection of our society in general and this community in particular. Consider carefully when casting your ballot in the coming Oct. 24th. municipal election.
