SANDY CONFESSES TO SUPERIOR COURT DECEPTION
Nearly a month ago I asked who the liar was, Sandy or MECAC. This was partly in relation to MECAC's horrible acting job on July 2 when they all made a big production of accepting Sandy's new 30 page package of Financial Statements-Auditors Report all while solicitously admitting they hadn't had time to carefully examine it. The acting was bad, the logic and rationale fourth grade and the due process what I'd expect from five year olds playing Perry Mason. Last evening in Woolwich Council, under serious attack by Richard Clausi, Sandy cracked open like a cheap plastic piggy bank stuffed with loonies. My money is on both of them: MECAC & Sandy.
Richard spoke as a Delegate to Woolwich Council about the Election Act and how it was the responsibility of candidates to learn about it and to understand it. He advised that any Woolwich citizen selling themselves as capable of running the Township's business, handling budgets and making difficult decisions had at the very least to be able to follow basic directions as given to all candidates by the Elections Act, the 2014 Candidates Guide, the Municipal Clerk and other assistance offerred. Richard further advised that every single stupid mistake and error offerred up by three Woolwich Councillors was covered clearly in this literature if candidates had taken even a perfunctory look. From Sandy's "associated corporations" overcontribution and alleged "missed" audit to Mark Bauman allegedly not knowing that Acclaimed candidates were still required to file Financial Statements; these questions were all clearly answered in the easy to read 2014 Candidates Guide and FAQs (frequently asked questions).
Richard spoke to all the excuses Woolwich electors have heard this spring and summer from Mark, Sandy and Scott Hahn. Sandy had moaned to MECAC that Mr. Marshall's (moi) world was black and white but that the Elections Act was difficult and full of grey areas. Not so said Richard. He spoke to the failures by MECAC, the Municipal Clerk and by Council. He referred to Council circling the wagons and protecting the old boys club which includes Sandy. No sexism in Woolwich politics. He hammered Council for instructing their lawyers not to present evidence, factum or testimony from the complainant (moi) at Superior Court in the case of both Mark and Sandy. As Richard stated "For sports fans this is called throwing the game.".
Richard emphasized that the area lacking in the Municipal Elections Act (MEA) is in enforcement. He emphasized that Clerk, Council, MECAC and Township Staff are much too close to each other and clearly are looking out for each others interests versus those of the public. Richard in one ten minute Delegation last evening turned Woolwich Council's bullshit upside down and publicly exposed them as being self-serving individuals cheerfully deceiving the public while shooting the messengers demanding compliance with the Elections Act.
And all of this was in front of Steve Kannon of the Woolwich Observer AND Rogers Cable TV (channel 20) AND CTV News. Rogers Cable has already shown the meeting in it's entirety twice (7 pm. live and at midnite) and CTV so far has only shown Graham Chevreau's (CPAC) wonderful Delegation. Hopefully CTV will show Sandy's incredible performance surrounding her confession that her sworn statement to Superior Court, that got her reinstated, was false.
Sandy is clearly all alone in fantasyland right now. She clarified Richard's allegation that her sworn statement in her Affidavit contained a falshood namely that she had given her 30 page package of Financials to MECAC three days prior to the July 2/15 public meeting ie. on June 29/15. However at the July 2/15 MECAC meeting both she and they all claimed they had just received her Financials just as I, the complainant, had. By so claiming to Superior Court Sandy misled Justice David Broad into believing that the Compliance Audit Committee (MECAC) had carefully examined them. She had also deceived him into believing that all her donations and expenses were now accounted for but last Friday's new filings on the Woolwich Township website dated August 6/15 put the lie to that as well.
Everyone in the Council Chambers were then shocked by Sandy's next comments. Richard calmly said to her "Sandy have you just admitted to perjury?" Her response "No, I've since told my lawyer everything and he's supposed to have talked to the judge.". Oh my God! Does this mean Sandy that if I commit murder and mayhem, as long as I confess to my lawyer, everything's O.K.? In Sandy's world the answer probably is yes.

Bravo Mr. Marshall for showing the public just how corrupt Woolwich council can be.
ReplyDeleteMy mother once told me, admitting you made a mistake can gain you credibility and respect from others. But that can only go so far.
It appears that council members have a lot to lose if they keep admitting to fault. More than what they want to lose.
Keep plugging away Alan. Never roll over and play dead. (Exactly what council wants you to do)
Last night was very entertaining to hear the Mayor contradicting herself first admitting to perjury and then denying that she had just done so on live TV!! I was very excited to hear your delegation Mr. Marshall and was almost upset that you did not present what you had prepared. The public needs to know the truth and hopefully after all of your efforts and other members of the public such as Mr. Clausi efforts it will finally be revealed.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking Truth to Power is taking place and I thank both you and Mr. Clausi for fighting so hard for the cleanup in Elmira and judgement upon the wrongdoers. I believe that the water and soil contamination in Elmira is just one of many taxpayer issues that need to be addressed and dealt with in Woolwich. Public servants must learn to sit down, shut up and listen and take notes and then act according to what is best for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI agree but they are too busy listening to the voices of local money and power and then acting in their interests only.
