The Feds have one, the Province is getting one, and now, not before time, HRM are considering hiring one. They're an expensive trinket, but if allowed to do their job without political interference, I'm sure they'll save the taxpayers some money, and stop this city from being the laughing stock of Canada.

Some time ago The Coast reported on some councillors being too fond of booze, an MLA doing a runner after an accident, lately it's a Mayor trying to "brass balls" his way through a "Concerts for Cash" scandal, and now a councillor has to resign from The Police Board for inappropriate remarks. Meanwhile, just up the street we have the Deputy Police Chief suspended with pay and under investigation that he may have lied under oath. As a taxpayer, might I be so crass as to ask what is going on in this province and city? —Basil Brush
