Insistent Persistence

Richard Ward, mayoral candidate for Clarington, seems pretty determined, as he continues to wade into deep waters, digging for the truth. I am content to learn the by-law was repealed, although, I do question the real reason for the original implementation.

Bylaw keeping candidate out of town hall appealed But, Ward wants an investigation into a west Durham golf course

CLARINGTON -- Richard Ward will be allowed back into Town hall, but he still wants the Municipality to "satisfy" his "concerns" about a situation in Ajax.
Mr. Ward was banned from Town Hall in 2001. He was allowed access to the building only under express permission from Clarington CAO Franklin Wu.
According to the original bylaw, council felt "satisfied (Mr. Ward) on several occasions has verbally abused certain employees at the Municipal Administrative Centre and on one recent occasion at the Orono Works Yard of the Municipality of Clarington."
But, a few weeks ago, Mr. Ward, who is running for mayor in the Nov. 13 election, approached council to ask the bylaw be repealed. He also asked for all information pertaining to the original passage of the bylaw.
Council agreed to repealing the bylaw, but Mr. Ward said he still wants further information about a situation regarding an Ajax business, which he contends has taken water illegally from the Region.
"I've always maintained there was a situation coming from the west, in Ajax, that was the motive" for passage of the bylaw keeping him out of Town hall, said Mr. Ward.
So, Mr. Ward has asked Clarington council to look further into the matter, to see if the company in question is still "chargeable under the Election Act" for providing more campaign contributions to certain candidates than is allowed.
The matter was thrown out of court several years ago.
Clarington staff has been asked to provide Mr. Ward with all information on the matter.
If my memory serves me correctly, "the matter thrown out of court several years ago", pertained only to politicians and not to the owners of the golf course. All the available evidence, smacks of a cover-up. Further clarification and investigation should probably be on the agenda. Richard Ward may end up 'walking on water', yet.
