So, our current Mayor John Gray, who I always thought was doing a good job for the city. Mr. Gray has done a lot of good things to improve the city but after hearing about this scandal I really cant support him anymore, sad.
For anyone who doesnt know what happened ill give you a short version then ill go into some more detail. John Gray has sent two of his associates to school to get MBA's. The entire bill is being paid by the city out of taxpayer money at a cost of $23 00 each. Councillor April Cullen and the Mayor's exectutive assistant James Anderson. What makes this an even bigger scumbag move is the fact that John Gray passed a bill to grant money to city employees for work related studies and courses up to $2 000. I have no problem with that. He then to sent these two officials to school and far above the $2000 limit. Apparently, what he did was present the bill to the council members, the council agreed to vote it in then just before it was to be voted on he changed a clause in it to allow him and him alone to make exceptions to the bill. No one noticed this until Gray signed off on the tuition fee.
So, after the bill got passed the two official left for school and their bill was quickly signed of on and paid out. $46 000 gone on education for two city officials on a program that is only suppose to pay $2000.
April Cullen's assistants spent the whole day today in her office shredding documents too. Gee, I wonder why. I fucking hate politics.
