Our friends over at A Better Niagara will be hosting a citizens rally ahead of April 12th’s Regional Council Meeting. Besides the general malaise seemingly affecting Regional Council, they also want to focus on the questionable hiring of the Region’s CAO.
If you are concerned about proper governance in Niagara, we encourage you to attend.
The rally will take place at 6:00 PM, ahead of the 6:30 PM meeting at:
Council Chambers
Niagara Region Headquarters, Campbell West
1815 Sir Isaac Brock Way,
Thorold, On

Given the recent release of 20 years of Regional Councillor expenses and the disclosure of the costs in the NPCA’s fruitless case against Ed Smith, it seems that those on Regional Council are keeping tight lipped about how they have been spending your tax dollars.
We came across an interesting opinion piece in Niagara This Week regarding expense accounts, after the Region released 20 years worth of data as we previously posted here.
As the author points out, having one member of Council expensing a $10 ticket for a charitable event is beyond reason.
You can read the full article here: Hide the cookie jar? They’d just expense us for a new one.
With many of us looking forward to the 2018 Municipal Election, we thought we would share this page detailing the last 20 years of “Remuneration and Expenses for Members of Regional Council”.
