Dear Editor: It has been brought to my attention that a poster has surfaced publicly at both Post Offices a few times over this past week aiming to discredit me.

It has and will be removed by Postal Staff as it defies eligibility for what is allowed to be posted and no ownership is identified!

1) I resigned from MRB Council April 13, 2022.

2) Following the posting of the Draft April 26, 2022 meeting minutes, I was contacted by a Ratepayer inquiring if I had been DISQUALIFIED (I replied with “not to my knowledge”) as referred to in Resolution #97/2022 – (Sections 94/95 of the Municipal Act) ACKNOWLEDGING my Resignation.

3) May 4, 2022 I received the letter from Mayor & Council ACKNOWLEDGING my Resignation with an enclosed copy of Resolution #98/2022.

4) In the Municipal minutes there has not been a resolution regarding my Disqualification – had there been, an Appeal process could have happened at that time.

5) Senior Elections Officer confirmed with me, prior to taking my papers out, that following my resignation I was eligible to run for Mayor for the 2022 upcoming election.
