61OMG! Talk about a step backwards. Mitchell has been totally inept on council and we'll see the same results here.

'I've done nothing wrong' Mayor Chirico calls for integrity commissioner to investigate
BayToday 58Here is a man who absent mindedly charged a golf membership worth at least $2,000 to taxpayers and doesn't think he did anything wrong since he agreed to repay it back after being exposed. Probably paid back out of the $250 grand NDA he got from the city for the Memorial Gardens fiasco. What a piece of work this guy is.

27 North Bay Police Service members on long term leave
BayToday 20So let's get this straight, I am sensitive to traumatic incidents and it affects me in ways that affect my ability to perform the duties I am hired to perform. My preferred career choice is one where I am likely to be regularly exposed to this type of situation. Great, sounds like you are a perfect candidate for the police service, sign here. If there are any problems we will support you for the rest of your life.

Beam signing marks milestone for North Bay’s new twin-pad arena and community centre
BayToday 26In 2022 he opposed this project when it was only $52 million. Now, with costs far higher, he pretends otherwise. This is yet another reminder of exactly the kind of hollow, self-serving figure we’re dealing with—though, frankly, no further proof was ever needed.

Union picket lines at all Canadore campuses
BayToday 16Unions today are about as relevant as a town crier shouting in the streets. They have no concern whatsoever for the quality or value of the work being done. Their only objective is to demand another raise simply because another year has passed. Meanwhile, employees are forced to hand over thousands in dues to bankroll union leaders whose survival depends on making reckless, self-serving demands—no matter how damaging or unjustified the circumstances.

Councillor Vrebosch’s travel expenses under review after FOI release, and amid transparency push
BayToday 14This is a woman who for years used lawn signs that looked like Grade 3 efforts in the last few elections rather than spend on professional signage and yet has no trouble spending $55 per night of other people's money for valet parking. Just one more who deserves to be gone.

New motion seeks independent review of North Bay Mayor's spending controversy
BayToday 25NBPS are in a conflict of interest in this matter and the complaint was redirected to the OPP. The issue now is will the OPP charge him criminally or will they let it slide.

Mayor Chirico turns in corporate credit card, according to City official
BayToday 23So on June 26 credit card story broke. The mayor held a press conference indicating that he had repaid the questionable charges back, he had done nothing wrong and he was not resigning. Then a week later on July 4, in spite of being completely innocent, he surrenders the card to the CAO and nothing is said about that until today? No indication from the CAO or the communications officer! Sounds reasonable to me. Peter, it's not the credit card that needs to be submitted, its you resignation.

Mayor Chirico turns in corporate credit card, according to City official
BayToday 20Propaganda: Righting a wrong doesn't cut it. Let's see how your suggestion that "he who has not sinned cast the first stone" works in court when he is charged with breach of trust by a public official.

New motion seeks independent review of North Bay Mayor's spending controversy
BayToday 18The motion should be to demand his resignation. The evidence is overwhelming that voters are not sufficiently aware and elections are decided by parties who have an interest in maintaining the current situation

Harrassment complaint filed against Chirico and Mitchell
BayToday 18Council members are on the Board to protect City interests not Board and staff. People can express opinions, just as you are doing, without the obligation to volunteer.

Councillor Vrebosch’s travel expenses under review after FOI release, and amid transparency push
BayToday 17This is absolutely true. Conferences of any kind are primarily beneficial to the organizers and the hospitality industry and a little paid holiday for employees. Reimbursement should be limited to 50%.
