HELLO OTTAWA |
Oooh, it was testy at City Council yesterday. As mentioned before, Capital ward councillor Shawn Menard worked out a deal with a developer to donate $300,000 for traffic calming and social housing in Capital Ward. Orléans East-Cumberland ward councillor Matthew Luloff said ‘I have it on good authority that this developer felt pressured by this councillor’. Menard responded, ‘Don't say those things unless you have evidence to back that up beyond what's been already provided to councillors in a legal letter because it's egregious’. Egregious! Ultimately, Council worked out that there was no policy at all over developers donating to wards for specific projects so the $300,000 will be divided across all 24 wards until a policy is created. But that wasn’t the last word. Said Menard, ‘If you're that developer and you've negotiated to say that it’s going to that ward … you've got to think that they might reconsider. I hope they don't.’
Coming up in tomorrow's edition of The Ottawan: More Valentine's Day gift and date night ideas including a dinner-sized Charcuterie board (and you get to keep the locally crafted board), beeswax candles in romantic shapes, vegan comfort food with seitan fried chicken, and a "Dragontine" meal that throws Lunar New Year onto the menu. We'll see you tomorrow.
